Products
Dual-purpose TEE/TTE simulator (mannequin + imaging software)
Integrated dual-function system combining a life-size upper torso mannequin and imaging software to support both transesophageal and transthoracic echocardiography training with real-time image generation and realistic probe controls.
Transthoracic (TTE) simulator (torso + software)
Simulation system focused on transthoracic echocardiography with a life-size torso overlay/mannequin, magnetic probe localization, interactive 3D heart model and tools for image acquisition and interpretation.
Transesophageal (TEE) simulator (upper-torso mannequin + software)
Simulator providing realistic TEE probe insertion and control mapping into an upper-torso mannequin connected via USB to imaging software that generates synchronized TEE ultrasound views from a 3D heart model.
Portable TTE mobile simulator (chest overlay + laptop)
Portable transthoracic training solution using a rigid chest skin overlay with magnetic probe detection, pre-installed software on a laptop, and accessories to enable mobile scenario-based echocardiography training.
Interactive cardiac anatomy module
Standalone interactive anatomy resource with an animated 3D heart, labelling and anatomic encyclopedia enabling rotation, slicing and creation of slides for presentations.
Cardiac pathology modules (software content pack)
Collection of pathology simulation modules for TTE and TEE reproducing conditions such as global LV dysfunction, regional wall motion abnormalities, hypovolemia, aortic stenosis, mitral stenosis, mitral regurgitation, aortic dissection, atrial septal defect, prosthetic valves and right ventricular dysfunction with tricuspid regurgitation.
