New Equipment
3D True Vision System
We have completed the year-long trail for the 3D system from True Vision Systems. The feedback from the faculty and students was useful for the TVS to improve the system's quality and make it more adaptable for hand microsurgery. At this time we are no longer utilizing the TVS in our training.
