Fundamentalvr Adds New Features To Promote Endovascular Products And Treatments

MedTech Outlook | Wednesday, May 04, 2022

FundamentalVR delivers additional capabilities to increase the uptake of endovascular goods and procedures.

FREMONT, CA: Endovascular surgery is a minimally invasive treatment used to address disorders involving the blood arteries, such as an aneurysm, which is a blood artery that swells or "balloons." A tiny incision near each hip is made to gain access to the blood vessels. FundamentalVR, the global pioneer of immersive VR surgical skills training and performance data, has included endovascular surgery in its growing range of haptic surgical training procedures. Along with this capability for new endovascular procedures, the business offers CollaborationVR, a customized virtual space with infinite capacity created exclusively for healthcare professionals to collaborate and expedite the procedure and product uptake.

"Our solutions can be adapted to multiple procedures and tools and remain the only medical VR education platform accredited by the Royal College of Surgeons," states Richard Vincent, co-founder and CEO of FundamentalVR.

FundamentalVR delivers its simulations via its Fundamental Surgery platform. The platform is driven by the company's proprietary HapticVRTM technology, which replicates the tactile sensations associated with surgical actions, tools, and tissue textures experienced during real-world surgery. FundamentalVR sets the bar for immersive surgical training with these technologies, and its immersive learning platform has already proven successful in orthopedics, general surgery, robotics, and ophthalmology for medical device and pharmaceutical businesses.

By developing high-fidelity simulations for various specialties, the platform enables medical institutions and life science organizations to teach large numbers of staff remotely without sacrificing quality. FundamentalVR guarantees that professionals have the dynamic environment necessary to study patient cases, anatomy, devices, and procedures to meet their learning objectives by leveraging CollaborationVR, HapticVR, and other capabilities on the Fundamental Surgery platform. This includes implementing virtual products, which consumers can create as exact reproductions of physical hardware.

With these attributes, the Fundamental Surgery platform is well-equipped to replicate Image-Guided Interventional procedures in their entirety, complete with haptic input and high-resolution graphics. Acute Ischemic Stroke, EVAR, Cardiac Rhythm Management, Coronary Interventions, and Carotid Interventions are only a few examples.

FundamentalVR dramatically accelerates the transfer of skills and the adoption of new techniques, tools, and equipment at a lower cost than ever before by producing low-cost, pre-human immersive simulations.

Already in use by medical device manufacturers and centers of excellence worldwide, Fundamental Surgery's equipment-agnostic design enables it to work with various off-the-shelf gear.
