SIMBIONIX USA CORPORATION, a provider of medical education and simulation training, has announced the purchase of the Arthro VR, a virtual reality arthroscopic training simulator line from GMV.
This purchase expands the company’s training tools to provide clients with advanced solutions for orthopaedic surgeons. As with all Simbionix training simulators, this system complements traditional training techniques, reducing instruction time and providing a complete hands-on experience. Arthro VR is an advanced arthroscopic training simulator designed for the most effective acquisition of the skills required for arthroscopic surgery. The simulator features a line of simulated procedures, intelligently combining fibreglass limb replicas with 3D images and haptic sensation, to allow users to learn key aspects of the procedures. Simulated procedures are performed utilising a realistic set of tools as used in the OR, including the arthroscopic camera, which allows the trainee to acquire a true-to-life hands-on experience.
