Minimally invasive surgical devices have the power to reduce trauma, reduce recovery time, improve patient outcomes, and reduce healthcare costs. More powerfully, these medical devices are allowing doctors to operate in locations they couldn’t before. These treatment techniques require high-resolution imaging in the smallest possible device size, and hygiene requirements are a challenge, both in single-use cost structures and sterilization.

Precision Optics Corporation was an early pioneer in robotic surgery, partnering on the optical assemblies that were key to Intuitive® surgical systems, including the da Vinci® system. Since then, we have developed proprietary techniques to improve image quality and illumination at ever-smaller sizes, allowing never-before access for new surgery techniques. Our standard endoscopes and patent portfolio are a proof-point of our expertise in endoscopy, while our latest work with medical device companies developing innovative instrumentation pushes past today’s limits for size and performance.
