Ocutrx Technologies Inc. Unveils Surgery Breakthrough: First-Ever Technology to Make Blood Translucent During Surgery
The HemoLucence technology is powered by Ocutrx's proprietary algorithmic AI and digital engine, which is integrated into the OR-Bot™ system. The technology utilizes digital volumetric reconstruction and advanced de-scattering algorithms to visualize obscured anatomy under the blood. In tests, the system successfully visualized through three millimeters, approximately one-quarter inch, of whole human blood, which includes all major blood components. In further tests, the company expects to be able to visualize under at least half an inch of blood.
"The Ocutrx OR-Bot 3D Surgery Microscope's ability to turn blood clear during surgery is a monumental achievement for the future of surgery, and a new high mark for Ocutrx's journey towards pioneering innovation in healthcare," said / . "Our team at the Ocutrx Genius Labs worked tirelessly with me for two years to develop this remarkable technology that sets a new bar for surgical precision and visualization."
Ocutrx recently debuted this breakthrough during Abu Dhabi Global Health Week 2025, under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan , Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of Abu Dhabi Executive Council.
The HemoLucence technology overcomes blood opacity through advanced computational physics. The technology uses advanced math and physics to understand how light behaves when it passes through areas filled with blood. Although it works well from a single viewpoint, it achieves more accurate results by collecting images from different angles. This helps it distinguish between light being absorbed by blood and light being scattered by red blood cells. Behind the scenes, new, advanced algorithms employ sophisticated statistical methods and neural networks through proprietary techniques to extract detailed images of tissue structure and texture, even in areas where blood would normally obstruct the view.
"Having the ability to render blood 'transparent' now makes the unseen, in the heat of surgical battle, seen, creating another layer of safety and confidence for surgeons that traditional visual aids can't provide," said . "My primary areas of research interest involve the development of new surgical technologies and innovative surgical and non-surgical treatments for spine-related neck and back pain, and this is an important new one."
, added: "The ability to render blood as transparent will provide a level of visualization not previously possible in any field of surgery. No matter the discipline or scale, bleeding is a regular part of any surgery and can create several challenges. This breakthrough helps overcome those challenges and is a significant step forward in making surgery safer and more efficient."
"In operating room imaging, seeing through blood in real-time during a surgery has been a long-sought-after tool, considered not just difficult, but impossible, and with current microscopes fundamentally unachievable," said
. "At Ocutrx Genius Labs, we saw what others viewed as a barrier—blood obscuring vision during surgery—as a challenge to overcome. While traditional systems can't see through blood, our OR-Bot™ uses AI-driven algorithms to cut through the scatter and reconstruct a clear 3D view of what's underneath, including vessels, nerves, bleed sites, and even tumors. This breakthrough transforms surgical visibility and precision. It's our commitment to bold innovation in medical imaging, AR/XR, and 3D tech that drives everything we do."
"Congratulations to Ocutrx for advancing microscope capabilities with this incredible breakthrough," said "This new visualization tool will give us clearer views, better performance, and ultimately, better outcomes for patients."
