How does this product benefit the surgical team and aid in better outcomes?
FlexVision Pro provides full control, at tableside, of all applications so users can focus on what matters most, the patient. It improves the workflow in the exam room and it helps reduce the need for team members to leave the sterile area and walk to the control room during procedures. This can save time and help avoid delays. Save time through instant parallel working because the Azurion interventional suite has been designed to enable interventional team members to do two tasks at the same time in the exam room and control room — without interrupting each other.
