Inovus Medical Launches Operative Guidance Feature

Inovus Medical has just launched its Operative Guidance feature, now available in the Totum digital surgery platform.

This feature aims to enhance the training experience for surgeons performing simulated training across Inovus’ ecosystem of high-fidelity simulators. With Operative Guidance, trainees can receive mentorship in the form of step-by-step videos, which break down the techniques required to complete each procedure. The feature will be available on every Totum module and is compatible with Inovus Medical’s full suite of LapAR and HystAR simulators.

For the first time, trainees can instantly access insights from experienced surgeons – experts in their fields – at any time of day or night via a comprehensive video library, available globally. Each procedure is accompanied by a series of videos designed to be as engaging as they are informative. Trainees can move at their own pace with each step playing in a continuous loop so each individual can spend as much or as little time as they need perfecting their practice. This new approach removes the geographical limitations built into traditional side-by-side or apprentice style learning methods.

The feature also enables institutions to create their own operative step recordings and immortalise the preferred methodology of a particular region, hospital, or training institution. Reflecting the real-world practices and preferences of each individual institution, these customisation options will make utilising the Totum platform even more impactful.

“The new Operative Guidance feature in the Totum platform represents the next step in that journey, enabling surgical teams to provide in-depth mentorship and guidance to trainees, no matter when or where they are practicing. It’s a truly transformative development for the future of surgical education,” said Jordan Van Flute, co-founder and CTO of Inovus Medical.
