T1V's CollaboratOR portfolio provides a hardware and software cloud ecosystem accessed through a large-format touch display.

KARL STORZ has revealed the acquisition of the medical business of T1V, a Charlotte, N.C.-based visual collaboration software company.
The company said acquiring T1V’s medical business marks a major step in shaping integrated hardware and software solutions for digital surgery in global operating rooms, complementing its endoscopes and medical solutions. T1V’s CollaboratOR has been sold exclusively through KARL STORZ since 2018.
The CollaboratOR portfolio provides a hardware and software cloud ecosystem accessed through a large-format touch display. This system offers surgical staff real-time clinical data, pre-operative and real-time images, preference cards, and other critical data throughout the peri-operative process.
KARL STORZ also believes its customer base will benefit from the integration of T1V’s digital competencies and intellectual property, which includes patents in visual collaboration software. This will enhance capabilities in multi-touch data interaction, cloud-based collaboration, low-latency streaming, multi-view windowing, and remote support.
“This strategic acquisition underscores our commitment to preparing for future opportunities to advance progress in digital surgery and shape the future of medicine,” said Stefan Ort, KARL STORZ’s COO. “It ensures the future development of our CollaboratOR range, which enhances our ability to empower healthcare partners to excel daily, improving patients’ lives globally.”
The acquired T1V medical business will be fully integrated into KARL STORZ over the next 12 months, including all operations, research and development activities, sales support, and technical services. As part of the acquisition, a team of ten T1V employees relevant to the medical business will transition to KARL STORZ.
Christy Gaudet, KARL STORZ’s VP sales and marketing Surgical & OR1 in the U.S., added, “Hundreds of successful CollaboratOR installations exemplify our dedication to innovation and digitalization. We are proud to offer a unique, best-in-class integration solution, highlighted by CollaboratOR and strengthened by this acquisition.”
Earlier this week, the company revealed that its IMAGE1 S CONNECT II camera control unit earned UL 2900-2-1 certification through the UL Cybersecurity Assurance Program.
