N E T • 1 1 7 Mixed-Reality Lap Training Endoscopy manufacturer Karl Storz and medical training simulation company VirtaMed have teamed up on this novel mixed-reality simu- lator. The hybrid LapTrainer system combines high-fidelity video simulation with an anatomically correct abdomen model. You can practice patient positioning, trocar placement and correct OR team setup in true-to-life conditions, with the ability to visualize and manipulate the entire abdomen. LapTrainer includes real endoscopic equipment, too — Karl Storz' EndoCAMeleon endoscope, CLICKline and RoBi instrument series, and near infrared fluorescence imaging applications. The companies claim the soon-to-be-released system provides unprecedented realism for surgical training. karlstorz.com, virtamed.com
