The Shape Sensing Company
3D Shape Sensing technology reconstructs and displays the entire shape of thin, flexible optical fiber. When integrated into medical devices, this provides surgeons with unprecedented feedback on the location and guidance of surgical tools, enables endless opportunities in robotic control, and frees patients from harmful radiative imaging alternatives. Whenever line of sight is not an option, 3D Shape Sensing provides the critical information required to make the right decision in the most difficult environments. In addition to the medical field it empowers numerous applications in the Aerospace, Civil Engineering, Mining and Energy markets.
