A leader in MIS simulation

• State-of-the-art RD capabilities Simbionix
  specialized technologies include Simbionix
  Simulation Engine (SSE-3D), organic tissue
  visualization engine, tracking force feedback
  devices, internet connectivity and more
• 4 families of productsGI Mentor, URO Mentor,
  PERC Mentor LAP Mentor

Simbionix suite of MIS simulators
5
The New Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) module

• Hands-on training
• in EUS procedures
• Linear and radial
• imaging
• Excellent
• learning aids

6
A didactic hands-on training system

• Instructor mode manages single or many trainees,
  assigns tailor-made program, reviews performance,
  assesses improvement over time, plays-back
  procedure
• Case files includes a variety of virtual
  patients with complete case files based on real
  cases. The case files include case history and
  imaging results
• Virtual Instructor provides comments and warning
  pop-up during procedure to assist with the
  learning process
• Teaching Indicators provides additional
  information necessary for teaching, such as pain
  indicator while performing GI procedures
• Performance review gives quantifiable
  parameters, play-back, compares to previous
  performances, detects problem patterns and
  difficulties, enables statistic analysis

• Six abstracts on topics involving the URO Mentor
  simulator were published and presented at the
  20th World Congress on Endourology and SWL, 18th
  Basic Research Symposium, September 19-22, 2002
  in Genoa, Italy. The articles were selected for
  presentation in the plenary session of
  "Highlights of Basic Research Symposium". The
  full abstracts are available in the Journal of
  Endourology Abstracts, volume 16, Supplement1,
  September 2002.
• Three abstracts on topics involving the URO
  Mentor simulator were published and presented at
  the AUA exhibition in Orlando, Florida, May 26 -
  29, 2002. The full abstracts are available in
  the Proceedings of the AUA Exhibition.
