Viseon announced that it began the U.S. commercial rollout and initial clinical use of its MaxView 4K advanced visualization system.
Irvine, California-based Viseon describes its MaxView 4K system as a first-of-its-kind advanced visualization system for minimally invasive spine surgery. The state-of-the-art system involves no capital equipment expense and occupies no operating room footprint. It features a single-use, sterile 4K imaging camera and a reusable, non-sterile 4K image control box.
As a 4K digital platform, the system can offer real-time procedural video recording and still image capture. This enables the surgeon to develop a digital content database for teaching, presentations, publications and more. The implant-agnostic system has compatibility with all major currently marketed lateral access retractors, Viseon says.

Surgeons in Tampa, Florida, Ridgewood, New Jersey, and Seattle, performed the first MaxView 4K procedures. Dr. Rajiv Sethi, one of the first to use MaxView 4K in Seattle, called it “a game-changer.”
“Enabling advanced minimally invasive spine surgery procedures to be performed in a more safe, efficient and economic manner benefits the patient, the surgeon and the hospital,” said Jeffrey Valko, Viseon CEO. “Visualization seems to be such a fundamental requirement during spine surgery, but advancing minimally invasive techniques require more advanced visualization that significantly benefits patient’s safety without a large economic burden on the hospital. Viseon uniquely enables this with the first-ever MaxView 4K System.”
Valko added that the company now looks to expand into additional markets. That may include neurosurgery, ENT, endoscopy and other orthopedic uses.
