“Virtual suture, both interactive and realistic, has been a challenge for research in the field over the past 20 years. Thanks to our innovations in physics simulation, ROBOTiS finally meets this challenge to offer a truly immersive training experience.”

“Today, there is a growing demand for robotic surgery training. To familiarize surgeons with the 3D view and the coordination of the camera and the three articulated instruments from a console, a training tool is essential. In the absence of haptic feedback on current robotic systems, learning the manipulation of delicate tissues and threads is essential. The realization of robotic knots and sutures is an example of how simulation training can reduce the excessive forces typically observed in beginners, ideally through on-demand exercises and outside the operating room.”

I am enjoying using the diSplay U/S simulator program a lot. It is a great help to learn the mechanics about using various ultrasound features. The features available in the platform are identical to actual ultrasound experience. I am positive that your platform will be highly valuable in my career progression.

Surgeon specialized in hepato-bilio-pancreatic surgery and traumatology, Juan focused on minimally invasive procedures and image-guided therapy. His interest in advanced technologies, innovation and translational research led him to join the IHU in Strasbourg. He is the medical expert for the diSplay U/S project. He provides clinical and educational validation of each progress of the simulator.

Practicing ultrasound with a virtual online simulator is an innovative and very practical strategy for those who do not yet have ultrasound equipment. I am an ultrasound doctor and I teach too. This virtual diSplay U/S online ultrasound medium is going to be revolutionary for my students and medical professionals.

The diSplay U/S platform is being a very useful tool for teaching the basics of ultrasound imaging. The possibility of using the mobile phone as an ultrasound probe, makes it even easier to show it to students.

“We must focus our development on having the best educational value since that is what matters most in simulation. […] The final user must be at the heart of the development from the start and it is essential not to wait until the end of the project to have it tested, in order to make continuous integration.”

“The aim was to represent the real behavior of the thread. Tying a surgical knot can be quite simple as long as the thread in the simulator faithfully reproduces the reality of the motion. […] This is where a robotic surgery simulator reduces the practice time required on the real machine, and its use avoids the costs of making the robotic system available for this training.”

“Our collaboration highlights the meeting between a medical need and technical and technological means. InSimo was very reactive once the problematic was announced. In fact, everything was created within a couple of weeks ! […] We really appreciated that InSimo invested time and human resources on this project (Sim&care)[…]

“We developed a collaboration in a few months and my service was in charge to test technical advances and the realistic side of Sim&Care. We also ask our students to check the applicability of this device and its pedagogical value. InSimo regularly visits the department with its devices and we have built a great collaboration[…]”
