Our state-of-the-art simulators offer unmatched realism and precision. By replicating human vascular anatomy, they enable hands-on training and mastery of critical surgical techniques in a safe and controlled environment. Equipped with comprehensive accessories, including customizable inlays and pulsatile flow systems, our simulators meet the needs of both training and product testing.
Abdominal model for “open aortic surgery” – The waterfilled aortic inlay, under pulsatile pressure, makes a lifelike training of the AAA repair possible. All arteries from the aorta are open and can be anastomosed.
Arm model for shunt-surgery – The water-filled vessel system, under pulsatile pressure, makes a lifelike hands-on training of almost all important shunts possible.
Carotid simulation model for open carotid surgery – The water filled carotid inlay, under pulsatile pressure, makes a lifelike training of the conventional TEA and of the eversion-TEA possible.
The Leg Simulator is a life-like simulator with realistic vascular flow. Four dedicated inlays at the level of the popliteal artery and the fibular artery are available. On the leg simulator a wide range of vascular surgical procedures can be trained. Not only precise technique but also effective assistance is crucial and can be practiced. Suture leakages are exposed and additional stitches, as well as tunneling between separate incisions, can be exercised. The leg simulator is also an ideal tool to discuss surgical strategies and decision-making in peripheral vascular surgery.
The Mini Endo Simulator is a compact, life-like training tool designed for endovascular procedures. It allows practice of wire handling, catheter navigation, and the deployment of both self-expanding and balloon-expandable stents. The simulator includes anatomically realistic aneurysms and stenoses, enabling a broad range of interventional scenarios. Inlays can be customized according to customer requirements, ensuring targeted training solutions. The Mini-Endo simulator is ideal for mastering technical skills, refining endovascular strategies, and enhancing team coordination in a safe and reproducible environment.
The thoracic simulator is a life-like simulator with pulsatile flow. Several inlays w/o coronary arteries and w/o aortic valve are available. On the thoracic simulator a big variety of cardiac and vascular surgical procedures can be trained. Not only perfect technique but also good assistance is important and can be trained. Suture leakages are unmasked and extra stitches which sometimes are bailout stitches can be exercised. The thoracic simulator is also an ideal tool to discuss surgical strategies.
For a wide range of surgical procedures. Fits many different, specific inlays (silicon based or life-like bio tissue with embedded inlays). Two battery powered pumps, pulsatile and steady flow. Adjustable wound depth
