Primary Surgery

Use your existing devices

Help Lightning runs on your existing mobile devices (iOS, Android) or a web-browser on laptop and desktop computers.

Surgeons can now provide remote assistance as though they’re working side-by-side. They can telestrate, freeze images, use hand gestures, and even add real objects into the merged reality environment.

Be there instantly

Help Lightning is easy, fast and intuitive.

Once you’re in a merged reality call with a colleague or customer, simply tap the mode to change how you interact. Choose whether you’re giving or receiving help, and start collaborating in seconds. Help Lightning’s unique Merged Reality can add missing visual cues, gestures, and non-verbal communication methods to any session.

Using Help Lightning with smart surgical glasses

Take Help Lightning to the next level by pairing it with smart glasses. This innovation allows the wearer to benefit from the assistance of AI or a third-party while performing surgery. When used in conjunction with Help Lightning, smart glasses mean that another surgeon can see exactly what you are seeing and what you’re doing – and also have their hands superimposed over your field of view.

There are a number of models available from different manufacturers including VUZIX, Zebra, and RealWear.

Our Mission Statement

Primary Surgery is a two volume practical handbook for surgeons working in low-resource environments, without much back-up, and even without specialist training. It is unique in its practical breadth, as it explains not only what to do, appropriate to the particular situation, but also what NOT to do, and furthermore to explain what to do if things go wrong. Many generations of doctors in remote circumstances have this book in their theatres and consulting rooms, and found it invaluable, and more help than many other more substantative texts. Volume One (Non-Trauma) has been recently re-edited and is available gratis online. It has been downloaded many hundreds of thousands of times. Volume Two (Trauma) is in the course of being re-edited, and will be available end 2020.
