LapSim ST

Exclusively Developed to Train Surgical Technologists and Surgical Assistants

Teaching laparoscopic skills to students is extremely challenging. To help with this challenge and to make laparoscopic education easier, we developed LapSim® ST – a state-of-the-art training system that prepares your students for the operating room.

The simulator gives learners a chance to get familiar with managing the camera in a laparoscopic anatomical environment, spatial awareness, and procedural know-how in a worry-free environment, in a way that was simply not possible before.

Validation Studies

Curriculum-based solo virtual reality training for laparoscopic intracorporeal knot tying: objective assessment of the transfer of skill from virtual reality to reality Munz Y. et al, Am J Surg . 2007

All participants completed a correct knot as compared with only 25% before VR training. Time to completion was 66% faster and knot quality 45% better after VR training. Significant reduction in number of movements (P = .006) and distance traveled (P < .000) by both hands after VR training.
