Testimonials

I have used the Cath Train flow models from SurgeonsLab to train my fellows for using new type of web device, I was impressed with the anatomical fidelity and the patient-specific physiology the model and simulator was offering.

Prof.Dr.Andrew Grande
Associate Professor and Residency Program Director, University of Minnesota, USA

I was involved with the project from the initial development and was amazed to see how the models are made patient-specific in a short turnaround time. We used the model time-time to train ourselves in complex cases and decision-making processes. The simulator models were realistic

Prof. Pasquale Mordasini
Chief Physician, Neuroradiology, Kantonspital St. Gallen, Switzerland

We had a few weeks of training for a novel robotic guided stent-assisted coiling case; I was responsible for training new, experienced peers for the robotic procedure. SurgeonsLab flow model and mixed-reality platform helped deploy the device, team training, and didactic lecturing

Prof. Vitor Mendes Pereira
St. Michael"s Hospital, Toronto, Canada
Dr Gowtham Testimonial | Surgeons Lab

The models are exciting . It is a good tool for teaching endovascular techniques to the residents. We organized training days with our team, trying different patient-specific models and endovascular devices from simple to complex cases. One of the best models I have worked with is excellent for mentoring workshops.

Dr. Gowtham Kuncha
Consultant and Neuroendovascular Surgeon, Meenakshi Mission Hospital, Madurai, India

The SurgeonsLab simulator was used for the pre-selected fellowship training program for senior residents. The models were coupled with C-ARM fluoro, helped to deploy various kinds of devices, and permitted us to discuss all clinical aspects close to a reality and the hands-on was very try to an interventional setting , and the software was impressive.

Frequently asked questions

These are the most commonly asked questions. can't find what you are looking for use our chatbot.

  • What is Endovascular Surgery?

    Endovascular surgery is a minimally invasive procedure for treating vascular conditions through catheters and imaging guidance. Instead of open surgery, it involves inserting devices like stents, coils, and balloons through small incisions. This technique is widely used for treating aneurysms, arterial blockages, and vascular malformations. The goal is to restore normal blood flow with minimal risk and recovery time.
  • How Can Endovascular Surgery Benefit Patients?

    Endovascular surgery offers faster recovery, reduced pain, and a lower complication risk than open surgery. Patients experience shorter hospital stays and can often return to daily activities quickly. Since the procedure is minimally invasive, it reduces blood loss and scarring. It is especially beneficial for high-risk patients who may not tolerate traditional surgery.
  • What is Interventional Radiology?

    Interventional radiology (IR) is a medical specialty that uses image-guided techniques to perform minimally invasive procedures. Radiologists use fluoroscopy, ultrasound, CT, and MRI to guide catheters and instruments inside the body. This field is crucial for modern, patient-friendly treatments, treating conditions like vascular diseases, tumors, and aneurysms without traditional surgery.
  • What is Endovascular Surgery Used For?

    Endovascular surgery treats vascular diseases, aneurysms, blocked arteries, and venous conditions. It helps manage peripheral artery disease (PAD), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and stroke prevention. Surgeons use stents, balloons, and coils to improve blood flow and prevent life-threatening complications. This technique is often preferred due to its lower risk and faster recovery.
  • What Are the Basic Endovascular Techniques?

    Endovascular procedures use catheters, guidewires, and imaging to navigate blood vessels. Standard techniques include angioplasty (opening narrowed arteries), stenting (keeping vessels open), coiling (treating aneurysms), and embolization (blocking abnormal blood flow). These techniques allow for precise, effective treatment with minimal invasiveness.
  • What Types of Endovascular Models Are Available?

    CathTrain™ provides an extensive atlas of training modules featuring both standard and patient-specific models. These models vary in difficulty and complexity, allowing trainees to navigate actual wires, catheters, balloons, coils, stents, flow diverters, and web devices within a realistic, patient-specific context.
  • How Realistic Are the Endovascular Simulators?

    The simulator replicates real-time scenarios, enabling medical professionals to practice techniques and refine skills in a risk-free environment. This realistic visualization is crucial for mastering complex procedures.
  • Can I Perform Catheterization Training with Your Models?

    Yes, CathTrain™ allows trainees to navigate actual wires and catheters within its patient-specific models, providing hands-on experience in catheterization procedures.
  • Are Your Endovascular Models Suitable for All Levels of Experience?

    CathTrain™ offers training modules with various difficulty levels and complexities, making it suitable for novice and experienced interventional radiologists.
  • Do the Models Come with Instructional Guides or Support?

    The simulator includes software features that facilitate neuro interventional simulation, educational modules, real-time feedback mechanisms, and intuitive interfaces, ensuring a comprehensive and immersive training experience.
  • How Realistic Are the Model-Based Interventional Radiology Training Systems?

    CathTrain™ replicates real-time scenarios, enabling medical professionals to practice techniques and refine skills in a risk-free environment. This realistic visualization is crucial for mastering complex procedures.
  • What Machine Is Used in Interventional Radiology?

    Interventional radiology procedures typically utilize imaging machines such as CT scanners, MRI machines, and fluoroscopy units to guide interventions. CathTrain™ integrates with these imaging modalities to provide a realistic training environment.
  • Can the Models Be Used for Repeated Training?

    The training models are exchangeable and consistent during repeated training sessions, allowing for multiple uses. During simulation exercises, they can mimic rupturing, complications, and intra-operative emergency effects.
  • How much does Endovascular Training Equipment cost?

    The cost of endovascular training equipment depends on its complexity, features, and customization. Basic models may be more affordable, while advanced simulators with mixed-reality features can be more expensive. Institutions and training centers may receive tailored pricing. Contact us for a detailed quote based on your training requirements.
  • Can I get a quote for custom or specialized Endovascular models?

    Yes, we offer custom aneurysm models and patient-specific training solutions. Whether you need models for specific vascular conditions or procedural training, we can design a solution tailored to your needs. Contact our team to discuss specifications and receive a customized quote.
  • How much does Endovascular Coiling cost?

    Endovascular coiling costs vary based on hospital fees, procedure complexity, and required medical devices. Factors such as stent-assisted coiling or additional embolization agents may affect pricing. Patients should consult their healthcare provider or hospital for accurate cost estimates. Training centers can request pricing details for simulation-based coiling training.
  • Are there any maintenance costs for the Endovascular Simulators?

    Maintenance costs depend on the type of simulator and frequency of use. Our models are designed for long-term training with minimal upkeep, but specific components may require replacement or recalibration over time. Contact us for details on maintenance plans and long-term support options.
  • What is the price range for models simulating both MMA Embolization and Chronic Subdural Hematoma treatments?

    The price range for models simulating MMA Embolization and Chronic Subdural Hematoma (cSDH) treatments depends on the model's features and customizations. For specific pricing information, please contact us for a personalized quote.
  • Are there any additional costs for shipping or delivery?

    Shipping costs depend on location, order size, and delivery method. We ensure secure and timely delivery of our endovascular training models worldwide. Contact us for specific shipping rates and delivery timelines for your region.
  • Is a free trial or demo available for the Endovascular Simulators?
