Inovus Medical and UpSurgeOn have partnered to revolutionise surgical training globally. Announced at IMSH 2025, the collaboration integrates UpSurgeOn’s advanced mixed reality simulators into Inovus’ Totum digital platform, creating the world’s first 'digital synthetic cadaver' for cranial, spine, ENT, and plastic surgery.
This innovation is designed to set 'a new standard for surgical education', offering immersive, scalable, and globally accessible training. Inovus will also act as UpSurgeOn’s commercial partner in key territories, ensuring surgeons in over 100 countries benefit from this groundbreaking technology.
"I have been a huge fan of the UpSurgeOn team and products for many years," commented Dr. Elliot Street, CEO of Inovus Medical. "The quality and realism of their simulators is unmatched, and by integrating UpSurgeOn’s expertise in cranial, spine, ENT, and plastic surgery simulation with the Totum platform, we are not only enhancing the offering of both companies, but creating a revolutionary digital synthetic cadaver.
"This world-first innovation represents the future of surgical education - immersive, scalable, and accessible on a global scale - and I am excited to see the positive impact this has on the growth of both businesses."
Dr. Federico Nicolosi, CEO of UpSurgeOn, added: "Inovus has revolutionised the disciplines it operates in, and I have been profoundly inspired by the way they’ve achieved this in General Surgery and Gynaecology. As a neurosurgeon, during my training, I often envied the immense opportunities my colleagues in those fields had, thanks to the genius of the Inovus team and the unparalleled level of their mixed reality technologies. They have created a new paradigm in these disciplines.
"Joining forces will have a global impact, showcasing to the world that the future of healthcare is deeply rooted in advanced surgical simulation - reducing risks for patients and costs for healthcare institutions, MedTech companies, and insurance providers."
