Medability Offers High-End Surgical Simulators For Next Gen Training
At IMSH 2018 HealthySim was on hand to learn more from the team at Medability, who showcased multiple products in the category of surgical simulation. We spoke with Dr. Patrick Wucherer about Medability’s SimBone and DuO systems — which provided impressive haptic feedback to provide increased realism for learners. Dr. Wucherer suggested these programs with these products will faster attract medical doctors while boosting their confidence in minimally invasive spine surgery instruments, offering next generation surgical training with a higher set of standards for certification programs.
