True to Life Look and Feel
The human anatomy is presented realistically, providing a life-like view of the entire urinary tract in both the scope view and the fluoroscopic view.
Real Time Fluoroscopy
Real time fluoroscopy with injection of a contrast agent, coupled with simulated C-Arm control, creates a true-to-life environment that enables trainees to learn and practice their navigation skills.
Various Endourological Devices
Tools and devices available for use in the simulations includes: guidewires, stents, balloon, forceps, Laser, EHL and more.
Variety of Practice Opportunities
The URO mentor provides an endourology training curriculum made up of basic skills, tutorials for procedural tasks, and simulation of full procedures. In addition, its cost-effective design can also offer training on all PERC mentor modules.
Reporting and Assessment
Performance reports provide quantifiable feedback to both the learner and the educator in order to assess skill level and training success. Many of the parameters provide more information than can be gained from observation alone. All performance reports are recorded and are accessible to the educator for assessment of degree of improvement over the course of training. Metrics include:
• Time and Economy of Movements
• Safety and Electrosurgical Dissection
• Procedural Errors: assessment of complications, tissue injury or bleeding
• Objective Analysis: automatic video recording of complete procedures combined with performance metrics enable objective observation and analysis of the procedure by the educator and learner.
Simbionix’s expert software and graphics team, in collaboration with medical experts from around the world, have created a library of virtual patient cases, each with different anatomies and pathologies, based on real medical data. Virtual patients have their own patient files with histories, imaging results and test results.
The URO Mentor library of cases is dynamic, with new cases continuously being developed and made available for ever expanding practice opportunities. Using the simulator, makes the practice opportunities of rare or difficult procedures available to any physician at his or her convenience.
