The future of the Apple Vision Pro may be in doubt, but Stryker, which specializes in medical technologies, has announced what it says is the first surgical procedure using SportSuite Vision on Apple Vision Pro was successfully completed at Duke Health.
SportSuite Vision received FDA De Novo authorization on July 17, making it the first application authorized by the FDA for intraoperative use with Apple Vision Pro and marking a new milestone for spatial computing in the operating room, according to Matt Moreau, vice president and general manager of Stryker’s Sports Medicine business.
He says SportSuite Vision brings critical digital content into a surgeon’s visual space, allowing them to see physical objects in the OR alongside digital tools such as arthroscopic images, HipCheck, HipMap and CT imaging. During arthroscopic procedures, surgeons often rely on multiple displays positioned throughout the OR to access visualization and procedural data. By bringing multiple data sources into the surgeon’s field of view, the technology can reduce reliance on traditional monitors and support a more streamlined, ergonomic surgical workflow, Moreau adds.
Chad Mather III, an orthopedic surgeon at Duke Health who performed the first hip arthroscopy case using SportSuite Vision on Apple Vision Pro, said, “Using spatial computing enabled me to customize the placement of key clinical information to fit my workflow and access it within the sterile field. This helped create a more comfortable, streamlined OR setup while keeping the information I needed in view.”
