By Simbionix Ltd., PRNEMonday, May 17, 2010
CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 18, 2010 - Simbionix USA Corporation, the world's leading provider of medical
education and simulation training products for medical professionals and the
healthcare industry, is proud to report that their ANGIO Mentor virtual
reality simulator was used during the 4th International Congress of the
Polish Vascular Societies in April 2010 for the training and certification of
vascular physicians from medical centers across Poland.
The congress was organized by the Polish Society of Angiology, the
Interventional Radiology Section of the Polish Medical Society of Radiology
and the Polish Society of Vascular Surgery. The scientific program covered
vascular and endovascular issues including patient management during and
after the intervention, vascular malformations and children's vascular
surgery. During the congress learners gained hands on practice on the ANGIO
Mentor.
The Simbionix ANGIO Mentor is a multidisciplinary simulator that provides
a complete and true-to-life simulated environment for hands-on practice of
interventional endovascular procedures. During the sessions, which were led
by key opinion leaders in the field of endovascular procedures in Poland, the
physicians used the Simbionix simulators to train and exhibit proficiency in
various procedures. Attendees who completed one full endovascular procedure
and demonstrated their knowledge and skills in the case steps received
certification from the Polish Vascular Society. Training sessions utilized
the various practice opportunities offered by the ANGIO Mentor including:
carotid stenting, iliac & SFA interventions, renal arteries interventions, as
well as virtual abdominal aortic aneurism repairs.
Ran Bronstein, Simbionix President, commented that "The inclusion of the
Simbionix ANGIO Mentor in this recent training and certification are a great
example of our simulator's benefits in providing a hands-on aspect to
practicing patient management and procedure understanding, as well as
providing an excellent tool to track learners' records and provide objective
assessment. Realistic true to life simulation will be a key factor in the
certification of physicians in the future, and we expect such inclusion to
become more evident in medical training around the world."
