Outline

Vascular Intervention Simulator is designed for training vascular intervention surgery with observation of crystal-clear vascular networks and for practicing complications and treatment during the surgery. It also can simulate the complete vascular intervention therapy with real clinical surgical instruments, offering an immersive and practical training experience.

    · Versatility:

    1) Support two puncture access:

A. Groin skin modules for puncture(L&R)

·Supple and true-to-life skin texture

·Palpable femoral artery pulse (bilateral)

·Ultrasound image under real equipment

·Ultrasound guided puncture

·Tool-free module replacement

B. Simulated femoral artery modules for puncture(L&R)

·Cost-effective solution for routine skill practice

·Highly realistic tactile feedback

·Easy for replacement

    ·Key Features:

    1) The complete vascular intervention therapy can be simulated, including angiographic diagnosis, guidewire crossing, guide catheter placement, embolic protection device deployment, pre-dilation, self-expanding stent implantation, post dilatation, and final angiography

    2) Training for treatment of complications and various situations during therapy

    3) Blood pressure, blood flow, arterial pulsation, and cardiac pulsation are simulated through automatic blood circulation device

    4) Real-time cardiac pressure display with adjustable frequency and amplitude

    5) Air emptying within 60 seconds before fluid injection

    6) Real image develop under C-arm machine

    7) Support multiple surgeries for training, including:

·Cerebrovascular Interventions: Cerebral angiography, intracranial stenting and balloon angioplasty

·Carotid & Subclavian Interventions: Carotid artery stenting, subclavian artery angiography, and balloon angioplasty & stenting

·Coronary Interventions: Coronary arteriography (L&R), coronary stenting and balloon angioplasty, and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)

·Aortic Interventions: Thoracoabdominal aortography, aortic dilatation, and aortic arch stenting

·Iliac Artery Interventions: Internal iliac artery angiography, bilateral internal iliac artery balloon occlusion, and iliac artery angioplasty & stenting

    8) The vascular structures are built from modular components, which are connected using specialized connectors that maintain simulation fidelity while enabling flexible configuration. This innovative design allows for easy module replacement and model reconfiguration to match specific training scenarios, while also supporting targeted pathology simulation in select vascular segments. All vascular structures derive from real CT or MRI data, including:

· Thoracic Artery Area: ascending aorta, aortic arch, coronary artery(R), marginal branch(R), posterior ramus interventricularis, coronary artery(L), circumflex artery, anterior ramus interventricularis, posterior ramus lateralis, marginal branch(L), branch of interventricular septum, diagonal branch of anterior ramus interventricularis, thoracic aorta, brachiocephalic trunk, subclavian arteries(L&R), thyrocervical trunks(L&R), internal thoracic artery(L), and costocervical trunk(L)

· Abdominal Artery Area: abdominal aorta, coeliac trunk, common hepatic artery, proper hepatic artery, hepatic artery(L), hepatic artery(R), gastric artery(L), gastroduodenal artery, dorsal pancreatic artery, splenic artery, superior mesenteric artery, and inferior mesenteric artery
