USF Health Simulation Center in Florida, USA

The USF Health Simulation Center at Tampa General Hospital has been the first reference center for VirtaMed. Since spring 2009 the range of training simulators also includes the photorealistic HystSim.

 

The USF can now provide surgeons with a standardized and efficient curriculum for minimal-invasive surgery. Surgical simulators are superior to traditional training methods and eliminate the need for the messy handling of leaking animal cadavers ("dry wet lab").

Expert Opinions

"VirtaMed HystSim is clearly the most realistic simulator for hysteroscopy on the market today - it even allows the training of complication scenarios. I recommend it to all our residents before they do their first cases in the OR."

Prof. Dr. Daniel Fink, Direktor Klinik für Gynäkologie, Universitätsspital Zürich

Industry Feedback

Richard Wolf HystSim Princess Resectoscope

" What convinced me to work with VirtaMed AG?

It was the high degree of realism which is unequaled by any other virtual reality simulator.

What really surprised me was the rapid development and service. We ordered our customized simulator in December, and in January we had it up and running! "
