SurgiScope
SurgiScope
SurgiScope (pronunciation: sur-ji-skohp) is a specialized medical device used in surgical procedures to provide a magnified view of the surgical site.
Etymology
The term "SurgiScope" is derived from the Latin word "surgere", meaning "to rise", and the Greek word "skopos", meaning "to look or watch". The combination of these words signifies the device's function of providing a raised, magnified view for surgical procedures.
Function
The SurgiScope is primarily used in neurosurgery, ophthalmology, and otolaryngology to provide a detailed view of the surgical site. It allows surgeons to perform precise and minimally invasive procedures by providing a magnified, high-resolution image of the surgical area.
