Simbionix First Procedure Rehearsal Studio(TM) Training Workshop
By Simbionix Ltd., PRNESunday, November 29, 2009
CLEVELAND, Ohio, November 30 - Simbionix USA Corporation, the world's leading developer of medical
simulation systems, in collaboration with GORE Medical Products will be
offering a PROcedure Rehearsal Studio(TM) workshop for the first time at the
upcoming ICCA Meeting in Frankfurt, Germany.
The Simbionix PROcedure Rehearsal Studio(TM) is the world's first medical
simulator to enable clinicians to create practice scenarios based on their
patient's unique anatomy as reconstructed from real CT and MRI data. Based on
the 3D image created by the simulator, the exact case data can be shared by
the treating physician with other physicians, either for the purpose of
receiving additional clinical consults, or to replicate and demonstrate
completed procedures with strong teaching value to help mitigate risk in
future procedures.
Simbionix, in collaboration with GORE Medical Products will invite
delegates at the ICCA to participate in a unique workshop where they will be
able to use the technology to practice real patient cases form their daily
practice. This interactive workshop was arranged to help interventionists
prefect their practice and in effect, train for their next patient. The
workshop will take place at the GORE Lounge at the International Course on
Carotid Angioplasty and Other Cerebrovascular Interventions (ICCA 09), in
Frankfurt, Germany, on December 4-5, 2009. During the presentation, Simbionix
will show both live and simulated cases.
Silvia Talco, Neurovascular European Product Manager at WL GORE &
Associates adds: "We are very proud to be partnering with the leading team
presenting the most innovative tools for carotid stenting. Training
physicians is one of the main topics Gore focuses on, out of the belief that
better training leads to better patient results."
