meerecompany has announced that it has signed a contract to supply its VR-based training simulator, Revo-sim, to Seoul National University Bundang Hospital.
Seoul National University Bundang Hospital is participating as a consortium in the K-medical Devices Education and Training Center project, supported by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Korea Health Industry Development Institute, and Seongnam City. The project aims to provide medical professionals with hands-on experience using domestic medical devices through surgical training programs. This initiative seeks to enhance the market entry of domestic medical devices in the healthcare industry while improving the procedural skills of medical professionals, ultimately contributing to public health.
Revo-sim is a virtual reality (VR) simulator designed for training with meerecompany’s surgical robot, Revo-i. It offers medical professionals a variety of clinical scenarios, enabling repetitive training to enhance their proficiency in robotic surgery and build confidence for real surgical procedures. Additionally, it provides a cost-effective and highly accessible alternative to traditional clinical training.
Revo-sim consists of three training modes designed for step-by-step learning. The Basic Mode allows users to master fundamental robotic surgical skills, such as moving rings and tissue dissection, as well as camera and instrument control. The Suturing & Anastomosis Mode enables the practice of suturing and anastomosis techniques in various situations. Lastly, the Advanced Procedure Mode simulates complex surgical procedures, including hysterectomy, nephrectomy, and cholecystectomy, allowing users to practice advanced techniques as if performing actual surgeries.
Ho Kun Lee, Executive Vice President of meerecompany’s Surgical Robot Division, stated, “With the introduction of Revo-sim at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, a leading institution in the Korean medical field, meerecompany has further solidified its leadership in robotic surgery training. We hope this adoption will serve as an opportunity to showcase the excellence of domestic medical devices in tertiary hospitals and drive further expansion of their adoption.”
