Kopin Receives Second Production Order for Wearable Surgical Information Display

Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ: KOPN) a leading provider of application-specific optical solutions and high performance microdisplays for defense, enterprise, consumer and medical products, announced today that it has received a second production order for the CR3 wearable surgical monitor from HMDmd, Inc.

The CR3 is a lightweight, ergonomic head-mounted display (“HMD”) that provides 3-D imagery in full-HD resolution, while also being 4K video compatible. The CR3 is configured for use with 2-D and 3-D endoscopes and microscopes and is plug-in compatible with other surgical systems.

“This second production order is a direct result of the positive feedback we received from the surgical equipment manufacturers who evaluated the CR3 HMD,” said Bill Maffucci, Kopin's Senior VP of Business Development and Strategy. “We anticipate adoption rates to accelerate as more surgeons have the opportunity to evaluate the CR3.”

The CR3 enables surgeons to maintain a constant high-resolution video of the surgical field while also being able to maintain full visual access to the operating room via a unique “look-down” capability. The CR3 also minimizes weight on the surgeon’s head and is extremely well-balanced to minimize head and neck strain.

"In terms of functionality, the CR3 is a massive leap forward,” said John Lyon, CEO of HMDmd. “We see the HMD being particularly beneficial for surgical use-cases in microscopy, minimally invasive surgery, digital and robotic surgery and interventional medicine. The feedback from surgeons and surgical equipment manufacturers has been very positive, and we are expanding marketing and business development activities with prospective distribution partners.”

With over 189,000 operating rooms in U.S. hospitals and ambulatory service centers, and an additional 115,000 in Europe and Asia, the total market opportunity is estimated by HMDmd to grow to exceed 750,000 HMDs worldwide. With modest growth assumptions the 2029 HMD delivery opportunity is anticipated to achieve upwards of 150,000 units.
