Simulation for Training January 25th, 2003 MMVR Simbionix Corp. 11000 Cedar Ave. Cleveland OH 44106
A leader in MIS simulation • State-of-the-art R&D capabilities:Simbionix specialized technologies include: Simbionix Simulation Engine (SSE-3D™), organic tissue visualization engine, tracking & force feedback devices, internet connectivity and more • 4 families of products:GI Mentor, URO Mentor, PERC Mentor & LAP Mentor • Vast library of add-on modulesfor diagnostic and therapeutic procedures • Over 140 customers worldwide
GI Mentor • Colonoscopy • Sigmoidoscopy • Gastroscopy • Emergency Bleeding • ERCP • EUS • LAP Mentor • Lap Chole procedure -Complete and continuous • Basic generic skills • URO Mentor • Rigid and flexible scopes • Cystoscope and ureteroscope • Stones and strictures • Basic tasks • PERC Mentor • Fluoroscopic procedures • Percutaneous Nephrostomy (PCN) • Normal and Obese patients • Basic Tasks Simbionix’ suite of MIS simulators:
The New Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) module • Hands-on training in EUS procedures • Linear and radial imaging • Excellent learning aids
A didactic hands-on training system • Instructor mode: manages single or many trainees, assigns tailor-made program, reviews performance, assesses improvement over time, plays-back procedure • Case files: includes a variety of virtual patients with complete case files based on real cases. The case files include case history and imaging results • Virtual Instructor: provides comments and warning pop-up during procedure to assist with the learning process • Teaching Indicators: providesadditional information necessary for teaching, such as pain indicator while performing GI procedures • Performance review: gives quantifiable parameters, play-back, compares to previous performances, detects problem patterns and difficulties, enables statistic analysis
