Suturing & Knot Tying Simulation System

Immersion Medical has added a module that includes Suturing and Knot Tying procedures and Needle Orientation and Driving skills to their LaparoscopyVR™ (LapVR) surgical simulator. The simulator's suturing procedure provides:

• Practice in ligating loops, simple-interrupted, continuous and horizontal-mattress techniques.
• The ability to present users with a realistic animated bowel of lifelike thickness.
• An experience where users must correctly drive the needle through exterior and internal surfaces of the bowel, bring the cut edges together, and tie knots securely.
