MEDICAL SIMULATION APPARATUS
Systems and methods for simulating medical procedures are provided. In one example, systems and methods are provided for a neck simulator that presents realistic interactions with the neck during medical procedures, including injections, such as may be performed during a laryngeal injection.
CATHETER SIMULATOR AND HEART MODEL FOR CATHETER SIMULATOR
The present invention is a heart model that is used at the time of performing a simulation of an operation for installing a leadless pacemaker in the inner part or a simulation of a myocardial examination method of collecting myocardial tissue, and is formed by means of a material having elasticity. The heart model has a main body having a right atrium, a right ventricle, a left atrium, and a left ventricle in the inner part; an inferior vena cava provided in the main body and allowing insertion therethrough of a catheter holding a leadless pacemaker; and a holder detachably provided inside the main body and including a flexible part capable of locking a locking part of a leadless pacemaker.
Laparoscopic training system
In one aspect a laparoscopic training device is disclosed. The laparoscopic training device includes a base that forms a working surface. The laparoscopic training device includes a plurality of walls surrounding the base and defining an interior volume. The interior volume simulates a gynecological surgery environment. A training feature is attached to at least one of the plurality of walls and base. The training feature includes at least one training element for simulating a laparoscopic surgery technique.
VEIN SIMULATOR
A vein simulator can enable a clinician to perform a PIVC workflow. This workflow can include preparation of simulated skin, insertion of a PIVC into a simulated vein, flushing a line of the PIVC and dressing and securing the PIVC to the simulated skin. The vein simulator may be formed of simulated tissue, simulated skin that is integrated into the simulated tissue and an embedded simulated vein that may be positioned within a protruding vein channel. Because the simulated skin is integrated into the simulated tissue, the vein simulator will provide a more realistic experience while practicing the workflow. A vein simulator may include one or more sensors to provide real-time feedback to a clinician while practicing the workflow.
Syringe dose and position measuring apparatus
An injection system can have a Syringe Dose and Position Apparatus (SDPA) mounted to a syringe. The SDPA can have one or more circuit boards. The SDPA can include one or more sensors for determining information about an injection procedure, such as the dose measurement, injection location, and the like. The SDPA can also include a power management board, which can be a separate board than a board mounted with the sensors. The syringe can also include a light source in the needle. Light emitted from the light source can be detected by light detectors inside a training apparatus configured to receive the injection. The syringe can have a power source for powering the sensors and the light source. The SDPA and the power source can be mounted to the syringe flange.
Endoscope manipulation training apparatus
An endoscope manipulation training apparatus includes: a body including an organ support plate, two support leg plates, and an insertion tube support body; and a net body. Fitting portions are formed on both end portions of the organ support plate, threaded holes are formed in both corner portions of both end surfaces of the organ support plate, a fitting hole is formed in one of the fitting portions such that the fitting hole extends inward from an end surface of the fitting portion, and a latch groove is formed in the one of the fitting portions on both sides of the fitting hole. The support leg plate is formed such that an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface exhibit a regular octagonal shape.
STEREO VIDEO IN AUGMENTED REALITY
Various embodiments of an apparatus, methods, systems and computer program products described herein are directed to an Interaction Engine. According to various embodiments, Interaction Engine generates within a unified three-dimensional (3D) coordinate space, a virtual 3D medical model positioned according to a model pose. The Interaction Engine receives video data from a plurality of video sources. The Interaction Engine renders a first Augmented Reality (AR) display that includes concurrent display of the virtual 3D medical model and visualization of at least a portion of video data from a first video source. The Interaction Engine renders a second Augmented Reality (AR) display that includes concurrent display of the virtual 3D medical model and visualization of at least a portion of video data from a second video source.
Medical treatment simulation devices
Medical treatment simulation systems and devices are disclosed. One device includes an overlay, a simulated treatment structure, at least one feedback device, and at least one processor. The overlay is configured to be secured to the live subject and to cover at least a portion of a body of the live subject. The simulated treatment structure is configured to simulate a structure associated with the medical procedure. The at least one feedback device is configured to provide a feedback signal to the live subject. The at least one processor is connected to the simulated treatment structure and the at least one feedback device. The processor is programmed to operate the feedback device to provide the feedback signal based upon input generated from interaction between a treatment provider and the simulated treatment structure. The disclosed devices may be used to simulate intravenous, catheter, defibrillation, and/or thoracic treatments.
Kyphoplasty system and method
A kyphoplasty system includes various instruments which can be selectively used in a surgical theater (e.g., during a surgical operation on a patient) or a surgical training environment. The kyphoplasty system can include one or more of a kyphoplasty apparatus, a prone table mat, a connector system, a bone introducer needle, and a biopsy device. The kyphoplasty system may also include a training system for use in the training environment.
FORCE PERCEPTION MECHANISM FOR PHYSICAL LAPAROSCOPIC SIMULATION MODELS
A simulated training model having a force perception mechanism to identify and notify to a user when an amount of force being applied to the model exceeds a pre-determined amount. The force perception mechanism has two states that are used to identify when an amount of force being applied to the model exceeds the pre-determined amount. In a first state, one or more portions of the simulated training model are removably connected to each other; for example the body to the base and/or the post to the body. The second state corresponds to when one or more of the portions of the simulated training model become detached from each other. When the transition occurs between the first state to the second state, the surgical training model informs the user that the force being applied to one or more of the portions of the simulated training model had exceeded the pre-determined amount.
