Osso VR incorporated into more surgical training programs

Osso VR is being incorporated into surgical trainingprograms worldwide and is now used by more than 20 teaching hospitals and eightmedical device companies in 11 countries. Focused on increasing access tohands-on training that improves patient outcomes and increases the adoption ofhigher value medical technology, Osso VR provides an immersive, repeatableenvironment to safely work up the learning curve.

Hospitals using Osso VR include Brown University, Vanderbilt University, Hospital for Special Surgery, Marshall University, Newcastle Simulation Centre, The University of Hawaii, UCLA, University of Washington, Wake Forest Baptist Health, University of Kentucky, University of Utah, and New York University. These innovative teaching hospitals recognize that traditional surgical training is struggling to keep up with new challenges. Today’s trainees and practicing surgeons are overwhelmed with the complexity of modern procedures and the accelerating speed at which they are introduced. Osso VR enables surgeons to practice these procedures on demand and provide objective training data optimize performance and patient outcomes.

For medical device companies looking to train surgeons onnew devices, Osso VR’s Collaborative Training solution significantly reducesthe need for travel and other resources spent on traditional bioskills labs anddemos. Surgeons can train one-on-one in a virtual environment or as a groupwithout taking time away from their practice. Surgery is a team sport, andCollaborative Training also allows the hospital staff and sales teams toprepare together for a case to ensure every case is well orchestrated andefficient. Osso VR has attracted several orthopedic medical device companies,such as Smith & Nephew, to leverage the platform to increase trainingefficiency, safe use, and the adoption of cutting-edge medical technology.

“This technology can drastically change the lives of ourpatients, and it is critical that we maximize access to the platform. Ourcontinued expansion is a marker of the global nature of these training gaps andthe scalability of Osso’s technology,” said Justin Barad, MD, CEO andco-founder of Osso VR. “Patients today want the most valuable treatment, whichoften involves new and innovative medical technologies. Surgeons badly want todeliver for their patient, but might lack the tools that allow them to utilizethese novel techniques. Osso VR augments the surgical team, giving them theproficiency and objective confidence that they can bring significant value totheir patients using the highest value devices.”
