Simendo laparoscopy

For thousands of surgeons the Simendo has become an iconic training solution and for so many hospitals an integral part of the training program. Imagine, you have just one product servicing all the needs to level up the skills of laparoscopic doctors.

Our state-of-the-art scientifically validated training programs provide training for all levels and all laparoscopic disciplines, including surgery, gynaecology, urology and OR Nurses.

With the most advanced online platform MySimendo.com available the options are endless. From configuring your simulator and certification programs to online competing. Ask us for a demo to see the full functionality.

The software comes standard with the Laparoscopic Fundamentals. This package contains the most important training programs to obtain the laparoscopic skills, such as novice, intermediate and advanced training curricula including surgical knot tying.

You can extend the Simendo software with several add-ons such as a simulation of a laparoscopic cholecystectomy and camera training for a zero and thirty degrees camera.

If you are looking for a simulator, stop searching, you just found it 🙂.

Once a Simendo, always a Simendo.

Simendo offers an exceptional simulator that combines everything you need for the ultimate training experience at your Health Care Institute. Therefore we have a long range of customers that are intensively use our simulators for over a decade and up to present day, they found no reason to change such a successful solution.

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy — A simulation of a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. First establish the critical view of safety, than clip and cut the cystic duct and cystic artery and dissect the gallbladder. This curriculum can be purchased as an add on to the basic skills package.

Suturing & knot tying: Suture and surgical knot — Use the laparoscopic instruments to tie an intracorporeal surgical knot. First grab the suture two centimeters above the needle (A) with your right instrument. Than grab the needle on 1/3 on the left side (B) and use the suture (C) to rotate the needle in the correct position. Loop the suture twice around the shaft and grab with right instrument suture on the other side of bump. Now close the knot buy pulling the suture through the loop and keep pulling in the horizontal direction until the knot is closed.

Bimanual: Stretch and transfer — Loop the elastic cord around the pillars, then transfer the pegs to the other side without having the pegs touching the cord, or each other.

Why

Train your laparoscopic skills with the latest technologies and save costs on physical supervision.

How

After you've purchased the simulator simply connect the Simendo instruments and run the Simendo software. If you already have a Simendo account you can login and continue your training.

What

The simulator includes the Simendo laparoscopy instruments, a user licence and a laptop or PC. When you receive the simulator you can directly start your training.
