Investment Firm, HealthpointCapital, Acquires Immersive Surgical Platform Specializing in Extended Reality, ImmersiveTouch.
In a groundbreaking development, ImmersiveTouch, a leading company in the field of extended reality (XR) technology, is transforming the way surgeons approach complex trauma cases. With a focus on facial and thoracic trauma surgery, ImmersiveTouch's innovative Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) software is making surgical precision, efficiency, and collaborative planning more accessible than ever before.
The heart of this revolution is the ImmersiveView™ platform, a VR and AR software solution designed specifically for surgical planning, navigation, and custom surgical guides. This cutting-edge technology allows surgeons to convert patient scans into interactive 3D models within a virtual environment, enabling them to virtually explore patient-specific anatomy in detail before surgery. Surgeons can virtually fix fractures, design and order custom implants, and even 3D-print physical anatomical models within a rapid timeframe of 12 to 48 hours.
In the operating room, surgeons use AR smart glasses to superimpose the 3D surgical plan directly onto the patient's body. This "x-ray vision" approach helps surgeons visualize the surgical plan in real time, guiding them through procedures with improved precision. The use of AR in surgery has reportedly reduced operative times by up to 2 hours and enhanced surgical team collaboration and efficiency.
Mike Mogul, Managing Partner of HealthpointCapital, a private equity firm specializing in musculoskeletal healthcare, has been providing a groundbreaking user experience to a group of surgeon leaders. Recognizing the potential of ImmersiveTouch's technology, HealthpointCapital has invested in the company, with the aim of rapidly commercializing and developing new applications.
With this investment, ImmersiveTouch aims to broaden the adoption of its technology in high-end surgical centers and more routine healthcare settings. Pat Banerjee, founder of ImmersiveTouch, is excited about the partnership, stating, "We are thrilled to have HealthpointCapital as an experienced partner for commercialization and development. Their expertise in musculoskeletal healthcare will be invaluable as we continue to innovate and bring our technology to more surgeons and patients."
Legal counsel for the acquisition was provided by Schulte, Roth & Zabel and Greenberg Traurig. As ImmersiveTouch continues to grow and evolve, it represents a significant leap in surgical precision, efficiency, and collaborative planning, making immersive tech an increasingly vital part of surgical care for complex trauma cases.
