LAPSim

MentorLearn on the LAPSim

The LAPSim is the first Surgical Science simulator to incorporate MentorLearn Cloud curricula management system.

Hardware Facelift

  • Side touch panel replaced by trackpad – concentrate interactions to one screen, with remained ergonomics.
  • Reduced depth of monitor pole – improved ergonomics while using touch screen.
  • Keyboard shelf – a dedicated and accessible storage.
  • Ethernet cable mounted on back panel – allows for easier connection.

RobotiX Mentor

Hardware Facelift

  • Cutting edge goggles – for convenience and improved quality
  • Consolidated platform with monitor mounted on an adjustable arm – for simple setup, improved ergonomics and user accessibility

New Cholecystectomy Module (Coming Soon)

  • Full procedure cases, allowing the trainee to acquire skills and knowledge of the key components of the Robotic Cholecystectomy procedure.
  • Simulated complications and emergencies such as injury to the cystic duct and artery, gallbladder perforation, and more.
  • The FireFly imaging mode allows visualization of the cystic ducts throughout the procedure.

FlexVR™

The FlexVR™ is a compact and flexible training platform designed to teach basic and advanced skills of robotic surgery to a wider audience, from medical students to experienced surgeons. The FlexVR allows trainees to quickly learn the fundamentals of robotic surgery, such as wristed instrument manipulation, camera control, clutching, energy control, needle driving, and suturing.

Ultrasound Mentor

MyCase

Unlimited simulated ultrasound cases are possible with the MyCase editor.  Simply import real patient scans (volumes) from your ultrasound equipment into the Ultrasound Mentor.

The scans are converted into simulation cases, creating a library of unlimited scenarios that can be practiced in a valuable hands-on learning experience.

MyCase provides the ability to quickly create new clinical training scenarios, either healthy or pathological, in just a short and simple workflow.

TEE Emergency

This module includes procedural tasks and clinical case scenarios for hands-on training of Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) exam in emergency medicine.

1st TEE Online Simulator Certification

Remote learning has become crucial during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ultrasound Mentor offers Cloud-based simulation capability.

In collaboration with EACVI (European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging), we developed a virtual simulator based on our TEE Module  that was used during EuroEcho meeting to evaluate young cardiologists Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE/TOE) skills and knowledge, focusing on basics of TEE. Using the computer keyboard and mouse, participants were able to navigate the virtual TEE probe, follow a scan protocol to capture 11 standard views and identify the anatomical structures on each view.

ANGIO Mentor

ANGIO Mentor Suite II

The most advanced endovascular team training platform, with realistic patient mannequin, easy integration of a real C-arm, integrated real TEE probe, 5 access sites and radiation awareness training using “See the Invisible”.

Unique Live Echo Capabilities – TEE and ICE

Using the TEE module on the ANGIO Mentor Suite II provides a unique opportunity to practice self-guided TEE (Transesophageal Echocardiography) standard view acquisition using a real TEE probe introduced through the mannequin’s mouth. In addition, practicing endovascular interventions with Live TEE alongside the angiographic imaging allows conducting cath lab team training – including the interventionalists, the echocardiographer, and the entire cath lab team.

ANGIO Mentor modules enable introducing a real ICE (Intracardiac Echocardiography) catheter handle and practicing fluoroscopic positioning of the ICE catheter and standard view acquisition in real time.

ICE and TEE provide realistic visualization of cardiac structures and cath lab tools during the procedure and enable practicing anatomical recognition using labels.

See the Invisible – The First Radiation Awareness Augmented Reality Proctoring Tool

Using augmented reality technology, the application visualizes real-time radiation scatter in the room, taking into consideration C-arm projections and other imaging parameters, while practicing endovascular interventions.

PELVIC Mentor

The Speculum Examination and Pap Test module provides self-guided step-by-step practice for cervix examination as well as a pap test, using true-to-life speculum and pap smear tools. This hybrid model combines physical and virtual simulation training.

Unlike any other simulators available, with this unique and innovative simulator and module, trainees can gain confidence, improve eye-hand coordination and learn to position examination tools accurately to avoid patient’s discomfort, prior to performing the examination on a real patient.
