The Wow Moment
A surgeon removing a breast tumor watches as the device tip turns from red to green the exact moment they've cut beyond the cancer margin - they've achieved a clean removal with 1mm precision, confident no cancer cells remain, all without waiting for pathology results that normally take days.
