The Chamberlain Group
The Chamberlain Group is a Massachusetts-based studio specializing in the design and manufacture of high-fidelity anatomical models for surgical and interventional training. Founded in 1999, it has roots in high-end visual effects for film and television. Its mission is to revolutionize surgical and interventional training with unparalleled realism, aiming to be the global leader in medical simulation. The team comprises sculptors, designers, fabricators, engineers, and model makers working collaboratively with medical device manufacturers, surgeons, healthcare professionals, and teaching hospitals worldwide. The company develops innovative training systems, including the Tactility Surgical Learning System, which provides realistic synthetic bowel models for surgical training, and collaborates closely with academic institutions like Baystate Medical Center to advance surgical simulation.

Products
Team cardiopulmonary simulation platform
Thoracic training platform that reproduces cardiac motion, pulmonary ventilation, and extracorporeal flow modes to support team-based ECMO and cardiopulmonary bypass simulation; includes airway access and modular anatomy interfaces.
Portable cardiac training platform
Compact, travel-capable cardiac skills platform with standardized mating plate and adjustable fixtures to mount disposable mimetic anatomy modules for coronary anastomosis, aortic cannulation, valve practice, and constrained-access tasks.
Bowel anastomosis training kit with integrated curriculum
Transportable training kit containing synthetic multi-layer bowel tissue, supporting stand, instrument set, written curriculum, instructional video, learner checklist, and a method for tagging and saving anastomoses for review and longitudinal assessment.
Suturable skin and wound-closure trainers
Range of skin overlays and suturable skin pieces designed for practicing incision, suturing, and wound-closure techniques; available in multiple sizes and formats with replaceable inserts.
Vascular trainers and vessel packs
Collection of vascular training components including graft and native vessel segments, catheter insertion skins, and vessel dissection pads for endovascular and open vascular skill practice.
