ASPIH Vendor Video: Inovus Medical Demos New Hysteroscopy Simulator bozzini
Continuing our exploration of the latest healthcare simulation technology innovations from ASPiH 2018, today we take a look at rapidly growing startup Inovus Medical. The new company, lead by Dr. Elliot Street and Jordan Van Flute, has recently successfully achieved several rounds of significant funding, enabling them to increase manufacturing of their affordable surgical simulation tools.
Medical devices are developed on a daily basis by clinicians as part of PHD and Post doctoral research projects. These products almost always end up being shelved, never successfully reaching the healthcare market and as such the patients. Inovus Medical attempts to bridge the gap between Universities and the healthcare sector by acting as the manufacturer, marketer and distributor for these otherwise lost products.
At the ASPiH 2018 event recap here, HealthySim was able to interview Co-Founder Dr. Street about the rapid growth of the company and its unique product lines, with a video demonstration now available below!

About the Bozzini Hysteroscopy Simulator
The Bozzini Hysteroscopy Simulator by Inovus Medical is a world first in the delivery of close to life, affordable, turnkey hysteroscopy simulation. The simulator offers an anatomically correct uterus with interchangeable pathologies for practising diagnosis and intraoperative management. Pathologies include endometrial polyps, intrauterine adhesions and endometrial cancer/fibroid as well as a bicornate uterus. The pathologies offer real to life tissue handling and are a low-cost way of delivering repeated practice of these core hysteroscopic skills. The uterus can be positioned in an anteverted and retroverted orientation allowing trainees to experience the different approach needed for each.
The Simulator is supplied with a standard 4mm hysteroscope, two hysteroscopic instruments, a HD camera system and 15” monitor and monitor stand. The camera and hysteroscope are powered by the Bozzini light system. The Bozzini light system really does put the “key” into this turnkey simulator allowing simulated endoscopic procedures to be performed with real endoscopic devices at an affordable price.
