Also see LapSIM, LapMentor, Endoscopy Simulator
The UroMentor has a host of practice modules and patient profiles that can be used to practice safe endo-urology (Cystoscopy and Uteroscopy) procedures. Features include,
- Simulation of cystoscopy and ureteroscopy procedures.
- Use of both flexible and rigid scopes.
- Performance of real-time fluoroscopy with simulation of C-arm control.
- Identification of patient anatomy and correct tool insertion through changing of C-arm positioning.
- Viewing of fluoroscopy image with injection of contrast agent
- Hand-eye coordination
- Processing of 2D fluoroscopic radiographic imaging into 3D visualization of anatomies
- Fluoroscopy image manipulation
- Tools and guide wire manipulation
- C-arm manipulation for obtaining ideal access
- Use of needles of varying sizes and lengths
Training skills on the UROMentor are organized into,
- Practice Hall Skills
- Level 1 and Level 2 (Training basic grasping and cystoscope handling)
- Basic Tasks
- Tasks 1 through 10 (Tasks which have a specific requirement, that would help the trainee is performing a full procedure) Example: "Use a rigid cystoscope and Bentson 0.038 guide wire to catherize the right ureteral orifice"
- Free Training Excercises
- Stone Manipulation
- Strictures
Training modlues can be custom built as a combination of cases. Tracking of individual user usage statistics and performance is possible. Click here for the basic tutorial.
