Surgical training with Virtual Reality

Dear Sir or Madam,

Young surgeons need a lot of practice before they can safely perform different interventions. Unfortunately, the possibilities to receive hands-on training are limited since there are not always patients available who need the respective surgical treatment. But fortunately, there is a solution since surgery can also be practiced in Virtual Reality. See more about this in our current video!

Enjoy watching!

Orthopedic technology is a true craft: That's because prostheses and orthoses are rarely off-the-shelf products. Orthopedic technicians must typically use different materials to custom create and fit the devices. Many of these processes are manual. For several years now, 3D scanning and 3D printing have modernized the industry thanks to digital design freedom and flexible production.

Removing kidney stones thoroughly and without residue

Interview

Kidney stones are a widespread disease. In order to be able to reliably remove even the smallest remnants of them, Purenum GmbH, a spin-off of Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanved Materials IFAM, developed a gel that encloses small fragments and can then be removed without leaving any residue. This year, the product mediNiK was certified and is thus ready for the market.

Simulators for learning success – VR in surgical training

Video

The most important resource in surgical education is the hands-on experience young surgeons are able to get in the OR. But the possibilities to perform surgery on real patients are very limited, and these situations cause insecurity and stress in beginners. Learn in our video from Jan Hillebrand, VirtaMed AG, Prof. Wolf Petersen, Martin Luther Hospital, and Prof. Dieter Hahnloser, University of Lausanne, how Virtual Reality can fill these gaps.
