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. Instead of presenting an artificial object for suturing, which is used in most other systems, the LapVR surgical simulator presents users with a realistic animated bowel of lifelike thickness. Users must correctly drive the needle through exterior and internal surfaces of the bowel, bring the cut edges together, and tie knots securely.
