Clinical Simulators

•  Transform the traditional “see one, do one, teach one” clinical education to “see one, practice many with simulator, do one, teach one” with the goal to improve patient safety

•  Use 3D printing as the enabling technology for anatomically-accurate clinical simulators with novel phantom materials with the same tactile, ultrasound, mechanical and other properties

•  Simulators built: Ventriculostomy, Eye and cataract surgery, Heart and aorta, Abdominal abscess access, Prostate brachytherapy, Femoral, radial and peripheral vascular access, endonasal approach to the skull base, and minimally invasive spinal surgery

• • Femoral arterial access simulator 

  • Torque for screw  placement for orthopaedic  surgery

  • Endoscopic endonasal bone drilling in brain surgery

  • Ventricular drain placement simulator for neurosurgery 

  • Cerebral artery for aneurysm
