Products
Advanced modular birthing simulator
A modular birthing simulation platform with interchangeable modules for obstetric procedures and force-monitoring capability to support standardised training and research.
Portable laparoscopic simulator with instrument tracking
A briefcase-style laparoscopic trainer that captures instrument movements for objective performance feedback and stores results in an online learner portfolio.
Augmented reality training app and mats
Mobile AR application and purchasable mats that overlay interactive anatomy and labels onto compatible physical trainers to enhance teaching and self-study.
Microvascular anastomosis trainer
Compact microvascular training jig with 3 mm tri-layer arterial conduits designed for practising end-to-end, end-to-side and side-to-side anastomoses in a portable format.
Skin and minor-procedures simulation pads
Range of single- and multi-layer synthetic skin pads for wound closure, cyst removal, curettage, lipoma excision and other minor skin procedures, designed to mimic epidermis and subcutaneous layers.
Mock blood and venepuncture fluid kits
Starter packs and refill concentrates formulated to match venous blood colour/viscosity and to improve leak resistance in simulated venous systems; non-staining when used correctly.
