 PROFILE
Vista Medical Technologies wants you to just hold on. The firm makes visualization and information systems that let surgeons perform minimally invasive surgery and microsurgery. The systems marry head-mounted display technology (designed for the military) with 3-D imaging capabilities. Vista also makes endoscopic cameras and stereo laparoscopes, and is building a network of centers that will specialize in minimally invasive gastric bypass surgery to treat obesity. Its new line of vitamins (for patients who have undergone gastric bypass surgery) will be promoted by singer Carnie Wilson. Director James Blair owns nearly a quarter of the company; the State of Wisconsin Investment Board owns about a fifth.
