Brazilian Doctor Used Apple Vision Pro for Shoulder Arthroscopy Surgery Assistance

Vision Pro is a tool used by doctors for procedures.

A Brazilian doctor used a special tool for his recent shoulder arthroscopy surgery. This high-tech device, Apple’s Vision Pro, was not made for medicine but for entertainment and work purposes.

While Vision Pro has massive applications in various industries, medicine has been one of those, and previous surgeons have also demonstrated its use while performing procedures.

Brazilian Doctor Used Apple Vision Pro for Shoulder Surgery

Brazilian surgeon Bruno Gobbato shared a video about using the Apple Vision Pro during a previous surgery he had done, particularly a shoulder arthroscopy procedure.

Gobbato was treating a patient with a rotator cuff tear, an injury caused by wear and tear of the tendon tissue, and the Vision Pro helped him view various information, including a live feed from the monitor.

During the shoulder arthroscopy procedure, a camera was inserted into the patient’s shoulder, and Gobbato told MacMagazine that the live feed was then streamed to the Apple wearable.

Doing so helped improve the procedure altogether, as the screen is larger, which he regarded to be “the size of a movie screen with high resolution,” and he praised the Vision Pro’s dynamic cameras, which helped improve the lighting in the operating room that tends to have dark spots.
