Virtamed AG

VirtaMed is the world leader in medical training using hybrid simulators for minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in orthopedics, general surgery, ob/gyn and urology. Combining virtual reality graphics with original instruments and anatomic models for realistic tactile feedback, VirtaMed simulators provide structured courses and performance-based proficiency assessments. VirtaMed partners with medical societies and internationally renowned experts to develop standardized curricula and training courses for professional development. Working with medical device companies, VirtaMed develops simulators that showcase their instruments in a safe and clean environment and to train a larger number of physicians at a lower cost. VirtaMed ArthroS™ features knee, shoulder, hip, and ankle arthroscopy as well as the FAST module for basic skills training. LaparoS™ contains condensed training modules for general surgery and gynecological laparoscopy. GynoS™ offers practical teaching in hysteroscopy, obstetric and gynecological ultrasound, IUD placement, and embryo transfer. UroS™ includes patient cases for TURP, TURB, laser BPH, and tissue removal. Our mission is to change the way medical skills are taught and to improve the quality of care with cost-effective, state-of-the-art, virtual reality-based medical training and education. Just as pilots use flight simulators for training, we help medical practitioners gain experience before treating live patients.
