The thoracic simulator is a life-like simulator with pulsatile flow. Several inlays w/o coronary arteries and w/o aortic valve are available. On the thoracic simulator a big variety of cardiac and vascular surgical procedures can be trained. Not only perfect technique but also good assistance is important and can be trained. Suture leakages are unmasked and extra stitches which sometimes are bailout stitches can be exercised. The thoracic simulator is also an ideal tool to discuss surgical strategies.

Carotid simulation model for open carotid surgery – The water filled carotid inlay, under pulsatile pressure, makes a lifelike training of the conventional TEA and of the eversion-TEA possible.

The Leg Simulator is a life-like simulator with realistic vascular flow. Four dedicated inlays at the level of the popliteal artery and the fibular artery are available. On the leg simulator a wide range of vascular surgical procedures can be trained. Not only precise technique but also effective assistance is crucial and can be practiced. Suture leakages are exposed and additional stitches, as well as tunneling between separate incisions, can be exercised. The leg simulator is also an ideal tool to discuss surgical strategies and decision-making in peripheral vascular surgery.
