Products
Modular spine surgical training simulators (basic models)
Portable physical simulators for basic lumbar and cervical procedures offering multi-approach training (endoscopic, microscopic, open) with reusable bases and disposable anatomical cartridges.
Modular spine surgical training simulators (advanced models)
Advanced simulators for complex spine procedures with enhanced haptic fidelity, interchangeable cartridges, multi-level coverage, physiological response simulation, and compatibility with implants, navigation and robotics.
Radiation-free imaging and navigation system (optical tracking)
Portable imaging/navigation system using infrared cameras and reflective markers to provide optical navigation and simulated fluoroscopy without ionizing radiation; supports multiple visualization modes and volumetric implant projection.
Virtual reality surgical planning and collaboration platform
VR system for collaborative case review, surgical planning and implant selection, with DICOM viewing and 3D measurement tools for pre- and post-operative education.
Anatomical cartridge and consumable kits
Disposable or recyclable anatomical cartridges, skins and muscle layers engineered to reproduce specific pathologies and anatomy for single or multiple training sessions.
