How do our anatomical models improve surgical precision?

Patient-specific functional twins
Our patient-specific models are derived from medical imaging data, including MRI, CT, and X-ray scans. These models accurately replicate a patient’s anatomy and pathologies, enabling a high degree of personalization in surgical planning and simulation.

Realistic operating conditions
Our anatomical models enable lifelike surgical simulations by reproducing the tactile sensations of real tissue, including elasticity, resistance, and texture. They can be integrated into surgical setups and perfused with liquid to simulate blood flow, enhancing the realism of procedures.

How do they reduce surgical risks and costs?

Reduced Risk of Complications
Advanced anatomical visualization provides surgeons with a detailed understanding of complex anatomical structures and pathologies. It allows them to practice or adapt their technique in a controlled environment thus minimising the risk of complications.

Reduced Costs to Healthcare Systems
Using our models in surgical simulations reduces the likelihood of errors and corrective surgeries. This results in lower overall costs for healthcare systems, optimizing resource allocation and improving efficiency.

What are the areas of application?

Models for Diverse Organ Systems
Our anatomical models are designed to replicate complex geometries across a variety of organ systems – from the cardiovascular and respiratory systems to the urinary, digestive, nervous, and ENT systems. Each model captures the unique anatomical features of its respective organ system.

Proven Applications in Complex Procedures
Our models have been instrumental in supporting advanced surgical procedures, including bypass surgeries, aneurysm repairs, arterial dissections, and cardiac interventions for both adult and pediatric cases. Surgeons have also utilized them for thoracic operations, tumor resections in oncology, and the correction of congenital hand deformities in reconstructive surgeries.
