The device’s screen mirroring technology provided a magnified, high-resolution view of the affected area, significantly improving the accuracy of the intervention. In an interview he said: “With this device, I was able to view the image at the size of a cinema screen, with high resolution, in addition to being able to consult exams and 3D models of the patient in real time”.
