Innovation Works

Sterile Vision operates a medical platform designed to organize and track sterilizable tools and consumables throughout their entire use cycle in the perioperative environment. By leveraging computer vision and machine learning, the platform captures images of surgical instruments at various stages of sterilization, processing, and distribution. This technology enables precise identification and tracking of tools, significantly reducing the risk of loss and enhancing operational efficiency. The system not only streamlines the management of large tool trays but also helps clients optimize resources, ultimately leading to cost savings and improved workflow in surgical settings.
