Excerpt from "“Face, Content, and Construct Validity of dV-Trainer, a Novel Virtual Reality Simulator for Robotic Surgery", Journal of Urology, 2009

Validated Trainer with Proven Benefits

 

Mimic’s dV-Trainer™ was developed in close collaboration with leading surgeons and educators. The dV-Trainer has been validated in multiple published studies and used at numerous CME training courses.

 

Cost-effective da Vinci ® Training

  • Does not require access to the da Vinci ® Surgical System for training
  • Does not require robot set-up by skilled personnel
  • Does not require assistance from a proctor
  • Does not require costly training instruments and materials

Improved da Vinci ® Utilization

  • Access to efficient simulation training can encourage surgeon adoption of the da Vinci ® system

  • Potential to improve surgeon efficiency and decrease procedure times

  • Frees up clinical robot for revenue generating procedures

Accelerated Surgeon Training

  • Replicates da Vinci ® system behavior and response for accurate and safe training
  • Speeds up surgeon learning curve and enhances system familiarization
  • Comprehensive suite of validated exercises for skills training and system awareness

Improved Patient Safety

  • Provides surgeons with extensive training prior to da Vinci ® assisted surgery on patients

  • Allows for re-familiarization with robotic interface after period of inactivity with the da Vinci ® system
  • Objective skills assessment can be incorporated into robotic credentialing and privileging
  • Enables cognitive and motor skills warm-up prior to surgery
