Medical Device Network Excellence Awards 2023: Mantis Health

Mantis Health is a Connecticut based medical technology company focused on 3D visualization for surgery. The company is a Category Award Winner for Innovation in the 2023 Medical Device Network Excellence Awards for the development of the Mantis 3D Digital Loupes platform.

Mantis 3D Digital Loupes are light-weight digital glasses that pair with 3D 4K cameras to provide an immersive magnified view of the surgical field. Its low-profile screens enable surgeons to maintain unimpeded views of their surroundings while simultaneously providing up to 50x zoom and focus capability. Mantis also includes a growing library of software features such as augmented reality overlays and 3D video storage.

The Mantis design does not require a direct view of the surgical field so that surgeons have the freedom to relax their head and neck. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), the second most common injury for orthopedic surgeons are related to their neck and back, which can be attributed to the usage of magnification equipment such as surgical loupes and microscopes.
