Hands-on practice in the OR is an effective way of building minimally-invasive surgery skills. But there is one problem: with a live patient on the table, learning by trial-and-error is simply not an option. But now, there is a safe and effective alternative.

The LapSim System is the first of a series of digital training aids that replaces the vulnerable patient with expendable pixels. By digitally recreating the procedures and environment of abdominal keyhole surgery, LapSim provides an effective learning experience.

Studies support our claims. Novice surgeons trained using the LapSim System build up skills that actually transfer into the OR.
With LapSim, the digital laparoscopic simulation system has come of age.

The LapSim program utilizes advanced 3D technology, including interactive live video, to provide the student with a realistic virtual working environment. Nevertheless, the interface is kept as simple as possible. Practice sessions can vary in graphic complexity as well as in the level of difficulty.

Courses can easily be created or modified by the teacher to fit a student´s specific needs, or the requirements of a training curriculum. Course saving, import and export functions facilitates course sharing between educators and institutions. Certified laparoscopy training is just around the corner.
