LaparoS™
Comprehensive laparoscopy training simulator with unmatched realism: real graphics, real instruments, real feel. Prepare for the operating room with precision and confidence using our state-of-the-art mixed reality technology.
LaparoS™ Simulation modules
LaparoS™ Suturing
Cumulative and step-by-step training cases focusing on specific skills for safe needle manipulation and intracorporeal knot tying (half knot, square knot, and surgeon’s knot). Using two needle holders, or a grasper and a needle holder, trainees can hone their skills with precision and confidence, ultimately enhancing their proficiency and readiness for certification, such as the GESEA MIGS.
LaparoS™ Gynecological laparoscopy
This module offers condensed diagnostic and surgical training cases for laparoscopy with highly realistic scenarios derived from both fertility surgery and other gynecological procedures. It can be combined with the GynoS™ platform for a full OB-GYN offering.

Now we have got the possibility to really touch things, to move things inside the abdomen, we can train as a team with real instruments that we also use in our OR. We have the possibility to train emergency situations and learn how to handle complications, such as damage of the vessels or cutting into the bowel, we can train those things without the need to experience it in real life.

Chief Physician at Women’s Health Clinic at Tübingen University Hospital, Germany
You are able to mimic exactly what we do on a real patient […] I like the idea that we can actually intercede and add complications, we can add bleeding, we can add a leakage from the gallbladder for example […] so all those things give you the feel that you are in the OR.

General Surgery Program Director, Broward Health, Fort Lauderdale, USA
What fascinates me the most about the new simulator is really in taking not just the operation in consideration but the entire preparation: positioning trocars and being able to simulate as close as possible to reality.
Prof. Dieter Hahnloser
Chief Physician at CHUV Lausanne, Switzerland
As a simulation center manager who mainly caters to General Surgery Residents, I can say with confidence that there are few high-fidelity laparoscopic simulators that provide a top-notch training experience like VirtaMed's LaparoS. What I truly enjoy about using VirtaMed products is their openness to work with your needs. For example, our program director noticed that our interns needed to work on their camera skills and VirtaMed worked closely with us to develop a custom course to help strengthen that specific gap.
Fred Wu
Program Manager General Surgery, Mount Sinai Simulation Center, New York, USA
VirtaMed’s laparoscopic simulator delivers unparalleled levels of realism and will play an important role in preparing residents for real OR scenarios, including team training and management of complications. We compared many high-fidelity simulators and are confident that the LaparoS™ is the simulator with the highest potential.
