Competitive Landscape
In neurosurgical access, VBAS competes with traditional retractors and other minimally invasive systems from larger players. Its differentiation is its specific cylindrical design and clinical data. In vision rehab, NovaVision's VRT is the only FDA-cleared restorative therapy, giving it a unique position versus generic compensatory training or investigational approaches.
