Urotrainer develops high-fidelity simulation models for robotic surgery training.
This innovative approach replaces training on cadavers or animals, while offering superior realism compared to virtual simulators. Urotrainer shortens the surgeon’s learning curve for acquiring robotic skills.
Our phantom models are used across multiple areas of minimally invasive surgery, including urology, gynecology, thoracic surgery, general surgery, and colorectal surgery.
Optimal education solution for novel robotic systems
Urotrainers models are an ideal tool for product demonstrations and surgical training programs, particularly for new robotic surgery systems.
They replicate the anatomy and mechanical properties of the tissues, allowing suturing, dissection and even vascular management as some of the models includes “blood” perfusion and conductivity.
Practice based on basic skills modules is neither sufficient nor efficient, while using advanced simulation models, it is possible to train the procedural steps specific to a particular surgery.
Perfect examples are our phantoms for Radical Prostatectomy, Partial Nephrectomy and Hysterectomy, which are already being used by leading companies to train young and experienced surgeons.
More and better simulation = Lower costs
Training with Urotrainer models is plug & play. You simply store the models in a cabinet, and when you need to train, you place it on the robot. Keep it simple and smart!
- You don’t require anaesthesia, no refrigeration, and no need to worry about waste or biological contamination. You use the same robot you use on the patient without any problems.
- As they are standard, the models allow you to easily define performance metrics to evaluate the surgeon’s proficiency. In this way, it is possible to define a remote training programme with teleproctoring, and avoid travelling to exclusive simulation centres for training.
All this translates into ease of training and reduced costs for robotic companies.
Validated by Scientific Societies and multiple publications
Our models are scientifically validated through publications in the Journal of Urology (AUA).
Also, they are used by the European Association of Urology (EAU) and the Société Internationale d’Urologie (SIU) for hands-on courses and workshops worldwide.
