What advantages does the SOLOASSIST offer compared with passive holder arms?
Numerous passive holder arms fixed manually or pneumatically are available and can also be used to hold an endoscope within minimally invasive interventions. However, this means putting the instrument down every time the surgeon wishes to alter the camera setting. Experience shows that the setting is changed every 60-90 seconds, which means that you have to put an instrument down every 60 seconds to change the image, maybe even more frequently if readjustments are necessary. This is extremely time-consuming. The SOLOASSIST enables you to change the image intuitively while you are working, without having to remove the instruments from where work in progress.
