Hybrid Flow Models
Hybrid flow models facilitate training in stent deployment and guidewire manipulation techniques.
Offering physicians the opportunity to monitor the accuracy of stent positioning and its expansion in a way that is not possible during angiography.
Cath Lab
The cath lab is equipped with State-of-the art angiographic and intravascular ultrasound systems, which combined with the simulated human model, allows physicians to train in conditions that are close to real-life clinical practice. Physicians can be taught basic or advanced techniques according to their technical expertise.
Cath Lab
Virtual Reality Simulators
There are four virtual reality simulators with which physicians can practice device selection, optimizing the volume of contrast agent and device manipulation. At the end of each procedure an evaluation report can be produced that shows details such as volume of contrast agent used, X-ray exposure and stenosis improvement.
