Innovative Modules Enhance Realism in Surgical Training

Inovus Medical has launched its suite of second-generation modules for the pioneering LapAR laparoscopic simulator. Building on its first-generation platform, these new modules represent a significant advancement in surgical education, offering enhanced haptic and anatomical realism, scalability, and usability.

Since its inception, the LapAR simulator has set a new benchmark in laparoscopic training, combining high-fidelity physical models with augmented reality to create an immersive learning environment. Designed with the evolving needs of surgical professionals in mind, the LapAR provides a holistic training solution that covers a broad range of procedures, from fundamental skills to highly complex surgeries. The development of this simulator has been continuously informed by feedback from leading surgeons and educators around the world, ensuring that the LapAR meets and exceeds the rigorous standards required in surgical education.

Inovus Medical has introduced a series of new modules that have been meticulously designed to replicate the challenges of real-life surgery, further expanding the capabilities of the LapAR simulator. The second-generation suite of modules includes three new modules focused on general surgery, alongside six new modules tailored specifically for OBGYN procedures.

Among the general surgery offerings, the adhesiolysis module provides comprehensive training for the delicate and critical task of separating adhesions, a procedure essential for improving patient outcomes. The enterotomy module allows trainees to hone the precision required in small and large bowel surgery, offering them the opportunity to perfect their technique in a safe and controlled environment. Additionally, the second-generation appendectomy module has been updated to feature even greater soft tissue realism, delivering an unparalleled ‘natural haptic’ experience for users.
