HoverTap™ MD is a medical touchscreen module for display and equipment manufacturers: touch and in-air gesture through sterile drapes, surgical and nitrile gloves, and fluids on the surface, on imaging carts, ceiling arms and bedside monitors. TIPSO™ AirPad is a finished, FDA-cleared controller for intra-procedural image navigation inside the sterile field. Both use electric field sensing to read the fingertip in a 3D volume, with no camera.
Touch and in-air gesture for the OR or angio suite:a module for your display, and a device for image navigation
Bond it to your own display or fit it as a flush frame. Works through sterile drapes, surgical and nitrile gloves, and fluids on the glass.

HoverTap™ MD is a touch and in-air gesture sensor that display and equipment manufacturers bond to their own medical display, or fit as a flush frame over an existing touchscreen. It reads the fingertip in 3D space through up to 20 mm of cover glass and air gap, through a sterile drape, and with surgical, nitrile or double gloves, with no recalibration.
Under a drape, dragging a finger across the surface is slow and imprecise. With HoverTap™ MD the clinician zooms, pans and scrolls in the air above the glass and taps to select, so drape friction never enters the interaction. If the workflow calls for contact, the same sensor reads touch on the glass; blood, saline and other fluids on the surface do not affect it.
It fits imaging carts, ceiling-arm displays, bedside monitors and large-format displays in interventional suites. HDMI in, USB HID out, plug and play on Windows and Linux. UL 62368-1 at component level; IEC 60601 and IP sealing are carried by the finished device.
Reads the fingertip's 3D position above the glass, in air and on contact.
Sterile drapes, surgical, nitrile and double gloves, thick cover glass. No special glove.
Non-protruding retrofit frame over an existing display, or bonded to a new one.
Blood, saline and disinfectant on the screen do not affect accuracy.
TIPSO™ AirPad
TIPSO™ AirPad is a palm-sized, battery-powered controller for intra-procedural navigation of PACS and live imaging. It sits in a sterile bag in the tray or in the surgeon's hand, inside the sterile field, and pairs wirelessly to the workstation in the control room. Finger twirls and swipes over its surface drive scroll, zoom, pan, window and level, and rotation. No camera, no learned gestures, no reaching out of the field.
FDA-cleared and IEC 60601 certified. In clinical use across HPB, orthopaedic, neuro, vascular, plastic and interventional radiology procedures.
Operable inside a standard sterile bag or under a drape.
Fits in a tray or a hand within the sterile workspace.
Twirls and swipes over the pad; every routine imaging control, no training.
No scrubbing out or leaving the bedside to touch images.
On-demand review of the anatomy without breaking concentration.
Time saved per image review compounds over a 120-minute procedure.
Immediate access to prior images can reduce repeat scans.
