Mastering surgery shouldn’t be limited… with Simulatory, the only limit is the surgeon’s imagination. It fuses cutting-edge digital tech with life-like biomimicry to train the surgeons of tomorrow — today. The seamless integration of digital innovation and real-world practice sets Simulatory apart as a trailblazer in the field.
Main Benefits
- Ultra-realistic, life-like anatomy for immersive training
- Hybrid approach: digital simulation (VRspine™ Pro) combined with biometric models (SYNspine™)
- Comprehensive training platform that blends theory and real-world practice
- Objective feedback that accelerates skill development and performance benchmarking
- Modular training for open, minimally invasive, and endoscopic surgery in a risk-free environment
Hybrid Training Solutions
Simulatory offers a progressive training pathway that integrates digital simulation with real surgical practice. By combining VRspine™ Pro and SYNspine™, the platform develops both cognitive and tactile skills. The training aligns with modern education standards and emphasizes patient safety, ensuring that skills are transferred efficiently from the simulation environment to the operating room. This integration of digital and biomimetic training not only builds muscle memory and psychomotor skills but also encourages innovative thinking in the operating theater.
Skill Mastery and Confidence
At its core, Simulatory provides more than a training tool—it builds the next generation of talented surgeons with skills, smarts, and confidence to operate at their best. The approach is both comprehensive and flexible. Surgeons can practice a wide range of techniques, from interlaminar or transforaminal procedures to uniportal or biportal access, making training both varied and thorough. Objective feedback is a staple, highlighting progress, pinpointing areas for improvement, and enabling performance benchmarking. In this way, the simulator not only helps build competence but also reduces anxiety, allowing for a focus on mastering even the most complex procedures.
Modular and Flexible Training
Simulatory’s simulation solutions offer a complete learning experience by combining digital and real-world practice in a modular format that adapts to various surgical needs. Its flexible setup, particularly through VRspine™, allows the development of essential skills like spatial awareness and decision-making through repetitive practice. The platform also provides the opportunity to handle complications in a risk-free environment, where mistakes become learning moments rather than setbacks. This approach offers hands-on training where the simulation of unexpected situations prepares surgeons for even the most challenging real-life operations.
Enhancing Surgical Excellence
By bridging the gap between simulation and the operating room, Simulatory ensures that exercises performed with integrated instruments on VRspine™ are seamlessly reinforced when repeated on SYNspine™ with real instruments. This dynamic process reinforces the transfer of skills, thereby enhancing clinical readiness and maximizing the overall learning experience. The simulator’s digital gateway to surgical mastery empowers users to practice the unexpected and perform the extraordinary, ensuring that every training session is deeply rooted in real-world application. The platform’s emphasis on objective assessment promotes a natural progression towards surgical excellence, while the hybrid learning experience ensures that both cognitive and tactile competencies are thoroughly developed.
