Ocutrx Welcomes Renowned Neurosurgeon Dr. Robert Louis to Advisory Board, Launches Revolutionary DigiLoupes for Neurosurgery

Ocutrx Appoints Dr. Robert Louis to Scientific Advisory Board

In a groundbreaking development aimed at enhancing surgical precision, Ocutrx Technologies, Inc. has announced the appointment of Dr. Robert Louis, a distinguished neurosurgeon, to its Scientific Advisory Board. This strategic move is expected to help the company push the boundaries of its innovative DigiLoupes™ technology, particularly within the realm of neurosurgery.

Dr. Robert Louis currently serves as the Director of the Skull Base and Pituitary Tumor Program at Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian, located in Newport Beach, California. Recognized globally for his pioneering work in minimally invasive neurosurgical techniques, Dr. Louis has consistently advocated for the integration of advanced technologies in surgical practices—most notably, the use of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) imaging during operations.

Ocutrx's DigiLoupes technology, which previously found its primary application in orthopedic and spinal procedures, is now set to transform the intricate field of neurosurgery. The collaboration with Dr. Louis aims to expand the utility of DigiLoupes in complex surgeries involving brain tumor resections, spinal disorder treatments, and the management of conditions such as epilepsy and hydrocephalus.

Michael Freeman, the CEO and CTO of Ocutrx, expressed enthusiasm about Dr. Louis's appointment: "Dr. Louis is a change-maker in the surgical field and a visionary in harnessing technology to improve patient care. His insight will be crucial as we work on next-generation visualization tools that offer unparalleled clarity, precision, and efficiency for neurosurgeons."

Throughout his career, Dr. Louis has published extensively and has toured the world to share his expertise on advanced neurosurgical techniques and the benefits of AR/VR integration in surgery. He is dedicated to nurturing future generations of surgeons and reimagining what operating rooms will look like in coming years.

"Ocutrx's bold vision aligns perfectly with my commitment to innovation in the OR," remarked Dr. Louis. "DigiLoupes represent not just a technological advancement, but a fundamental shift in real-time visualization. Together, we can redefine how surgeons visualize, decide, and operate during some of the most delicate procedures."

This partnership emphasizes Ocutrx's mission to introduce pioneering advancements that enhance the capabilities of surgeons, enabling them to achieve better outcomes for their patients. The company's flagship product, the DigiLoupes, is expected to significantly bridge the gap in surgical visual clarity, empowering surgeons to perform with unparalleled confidence.

Ocutrx Technologies, anchored in the US and Europe, has built a reputation for excellence in AR/XR and 3D visualization technologies across various sectors. Founded in the 1990s by Emmy Award-winning inventors Michael and Mitch Freeman, the company boasts a mission focused on addressing challenges surrounding Advanced Macular Degeneration through products like the groundbreaking OcuLenz™ headset. This device enables people with Advanced Macular Degeneration to regain better vision and enhance their quality of life.

In addition, Ocutrx has introduced the OR-Bot™ 3D Surgical Visualization Theatre, setting new benchmarks in surgical methodologies by offering unmatched quality, resolution, and depth perception. Although the initial focus has been on the ophthalmic field, the company envisions broadening its expertise to multiple surgical and patient care areas.

Significantly, Ocutrx's recent acquisition of Spectrum AMT, an FDA-certified manufacturing facility, positions it well to amplify its innovative capabilities. As Ocutrx continues its journey of innovation in surgical technology, the collaboration with Dr. Robert Louis stands to usher in a new era of precision in neurosurgical practices.
