FREEHAND

Freehand designs and manufactures cost-effective robotic systems that hold and manipulate a camera during laparoscopic surgical procedures. Their active R&D team work with partners and surgeons in the UK, Europe and USA to refine and extend their robotically-assisted surgery technology for use around the world. Their current system, the FreeHand v1.2 is CE marked, 510(k) and MHLW registered, and is used all over the world. The system is in regular use in Urological, Gynaecological, and General Surgical procedures. FreeHand not only provides a rock-steady, predictable view of the operating area but they believe it can lead to smoother procedures and contribute to better organised operating theatres.
