URO MENTOR™

The URO Mentor’s unique hardware and software were developed for the simulation of cystoscopy and ureteroscopy procedures using actual case scenarios. The system features authentic rigid and flexible cystoscopes and ureteroscopes, including working channels for tool insertion.

Simbionix

To complete the training experience actual tool handles operate as they do in real procedures, providing the necessary practice with endourology tools prior to working on patients.

Simbionix

Simbionix’ URO Mentor medical simulator provides the most comprehensive endourology hands-on training and practice opportunities for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The URO Mentor provides a unique opportunity to work with a variety of scopes, tools and visual images on a true to life system providing a look and feel so close to reality, that at times it may be hard to distinguish the difference.

Simbionix

Introduction to the use of endourology scopes and tools is done by working on coordination skills and essential tasks for the review of anatomies, followed by the practice of actual procedures on a variety of virtual patient cases, each with its own unique anatomy and pathologies. ? Safe practice of endourology procedures on the URO Mentor™ includes: ? Simulation of rigid and flexible cystoscopes and ureteroscopes ? Practice essential skills, stone extraction, stone lithotripsy, cutting strictures or taking biopsies ? Real-time simulation of fluoroscopy and C-arm control ? An ergonomic platform provides use of actual scope with a real tool handle and enables actual tool insertion into working channels

URO MENTOR
FEATURES AND BENEFITS

---------

True to Life Look and Feel

The human anatomy is presented realistically, providing a life-like view of the entire urinary tract in both the scope view and the fluoroscopic view.

-----

Real Time Fluoroscopy

Real time fluoroscopy with injection of a contrast agent, coupled with simulated C-Arm control, creates a true-to-life environment that enables trainees to learn and practice their navigation skills.

Various Endourological Devices

Tools and devices available for use in the simulations includes: guidewires, stents, balloon, forceps, Laser, EHL and more.

------

Variety of Practice Opportunities

The URO mentor provides an endourology training curriculum made up of basic skills, tutorials for procedural tasks, and simulation of full procedures. In addition, its cost-effective design can also offer training on all PERC mentor modules.

Reporting and Assessment

Performance reports provide quantifiable feedback to both the learner and the educator in order to assess skill level and training success. Many of the parameters provide more information than can be gained from observation alone. All performance reports are recorded and are accessible to the educator for assessment of degree of improvement over the course of training. Metrics include:

• - Time and Economy of Movements
• - Safety and Electrosurgical Dissection
• - Procedural Errors: assessment of complications, tissue injury or bleeding
• - Objective Analysis: automatic video recording of complete procedures combined with performance metrics enable objective observation and analysis of the procedure by the educator and learner.
