Outline

    This simulator is designed to fulfil the need of clinical education. It combines VR technology, posture and position capture technology, and simulated model together in one system, giving users an ideal training choice. Six major puncture operation can be trained – thoracentesis, abdominocentesis, lumbar puncture, bone marrow aspiration, pericardiocentesis, and thyrocricocentesis.

Skills Gained

· All the instruments and tools are modified on the basis of the real ones, providing highly simulated clinical operation experience to users. The 3D interface synchronizes with user’s operation and gives feedback and hint in real time

· Clear anatomical landmarks are presented on the model for users to practice

· The system provides operation instruction for users to train the whole procedure. Disinfection, anesthesia, and puncture can be practiced separately

Features

· Anatomy: Represents anatomical landmarks precisely

· Key Features:

1)  A six-in-one training platform, which can automatically identify models

2)  Real fluid can be withdrawn during procedure

3)  The movement of instruments will be captured. Feedback and hint will appear on the screen when operation is incorrect

4)  Supports both automatic objective scoring and teacher’s subjective scoring. The criteria can be edited

5)  Operation will be recorded for teacher to score

6)  Results are showed in the form of graphic and can be printed
