Why is medical training better with simulation? Prepare Trainees for Success ■ Original instruments and highly-realistic graphics mean that skills transfer seamlessly from the simulator to the OR. ■ Anatomically correct models support life-like joint movement and realistic haptic feedback. ■ Simulators offer risk-free and hands-on experience for trainees to make mistakes and test boundaries. ■ Society-endorsed and proficiency-based courses motivate students to reach benchmarks. Save Money ■ Simulation reduces long-term costs for personnel, materials, equipment, and operating-room time. ■...

VirtaMed ArthroS™ FAST In 2013 the Fundamentals of Arthroscopic Surgery Training (FAST) program was developed with the goal of improving and standardizing surgical education in the field of arthroscopy. VirtaMed has an exclusive partnership with Sawbones, and their FAST dome has been adapted for virtual reality simulation offering exciting new training opportunities. Learning objectives ■ Control camera movements and center an image ■ Practice deliberate linear scope movements ■ Control image orientation (i.e. camera horizon) ■ Track a moving target with the scope ■ Perform basic...

Trainees have the chance to perform complete diagnostic arthroscopic interventions on numerous and diverse patient cases. Mastering these basic tasks enables trainees to perform a complete knee arthroscopy more easily, efficiently and safely. Courses ■ Knee Basic Skills Course ■ Knee Course in Diagnostics ■ Knee Advanced Course in Diagnostics ■ Knee Advanced Course ■ AANA Knee Course ■ Balgrist Knee Arthroscopy Course Cases ■ 12 cases for basic skills training: guided diagnostics, triangulation, and therapeutic arthroscopies ■ 19 cases for diagnostic arthroscopy: different meniscus lesions,...

VirtaMed ArthroS™ Knee ACL Reconstruction The Concepts of ACL Reconstruction module is an advanced add-on to the ArthroS™ Knee module and contains all the necessary software to perform an anatomical ACL reconstruction. Trainees will learn: ■ Navigate the 3D anatomy of the knee joint in relation to the relevant landmarks for ACL reconstruction ■ Consequences and effects of tunnel placement and graft positioning ■ Mastery of correct graft positioning, a skill paramount to safe and effective ACL reconstruction ■ Correctly use the following instruments: grasper, probe, punch, tibia targeting...

VirtaMed ArthroS™ Shoulder Includes guided basic skill training cases integrated into a realistic simulation. Mastering these basic tasks enables trainees to perform a complete shoulder arthroscopy. Courses ■ Shoulder Basic Skills Course ■ Shoulder Advanced Course ■ Shoulder Course in Diagnostics ■ AANA Shoulder Diagnostic Training Course ■ Shoulder Advanced Course in Diagnostics ■ Balgrist Shoulder Arthroscopy Course Cases ■ 12 cases for basic skills training: guided diagnostic tour of the glenohumeral and subacromial spaces, instrument triangulation, and joint palpation ■ 14 cases for...

VirtaMed ArthroS™ Shoulder Rotator Cuff Repair The Rotator Cuff Repair module is an-add on to the ArthroS™ Shoulder module and contains the necessary software and additional instruments necessary to perform a double-row rotator cuff repair. Trainees will learn: ■ Procedure steps to perform a double-row rotator cuff repair ■ Manipulation of the shoulder joint and to select appropriate portals to gain access to the subacromial space ■ Evaluate a supraspinatus tendon tear ■ Become versed in the the double-row repair construct Cases ■ 3 simulated diagnostic and preparatory patient cases with...

Trainees will learn: ■ Efficiently use 70 degree angled optics ■ Triangulate in either supine or lateral decubitus position ■ Navigate the camera and instruments in the central and peripheral aspects of the hip VirtaMed ArthroS™ Hip To prepare surgeons for a successful hip arthroscopy, the ArthroS™ Hip offers realistic soft tissue layers that allow trainees to palpate bony landmarks to find the correct portals. Zero Radiation Fluoroscopy Real-time simulated fluoroscopic imaging lets trainees adjust instruments during the procedure without the need for a C-arm Cases ■ 16 cases for basic...

Navigating the ankle joint is difficult; the joint is narrow and the risk of damaging cartilage or nerves is higher than most other arthroscopic surgeries, the curved bone horizon is disorienting, and surgeons often lose track of the exact location of the arthroscopic camera in the absence of visual landmarks. The ArthroS™ Ankle allows trainees to tackle and overcome these challenges prior to their first live patient case. Trainees will learn: ■ Navigate the camera and instruments in the anterior and posterior aspects of the ankle joint ■ Visualize the most important anatomical structures...

Real surgical instruments for OR-ready training Trainees learn using original instruments specially adapted for simulation. This means that what they practice with is what they use in the operating room. Shaver / Hooded Burr ■ Simulated fluid handling ■ Operated with a foot pedal or buttons on the instrument ■ Focus wheel and functional buttons allow trainees to take images of the procedure which can be reviewed and used for debriefing ■ Camera management, with 0, 30 and 70-degree optics available ■ Switches virtually between a shaver and hooded burr, giving trainees access to more...

1. Arthroscopic view and learning guidance ■ Photo-realistic camera view is identical to what trainees would see in the operating room ■ Virtual structures can be palpated, shaved, and cut. Joints are movable and external movement is reflected in the arthroscopic view ■ Guide arrows and horizon control to help trainees learn diagnostic tours and camera usage 2. Task list, instrument access, and complications ■ Tasks automatically check off, letting trainees know what is still left to complete ■ Tasks can be selected for additional hints ■ Switch between instruments with touch-screen...
