Die innovative neue Plattform nutzt Virtual Reality und das Oculus Quest-Headset.
VANCOUVER, Britisch-Kolumbien, 26. August 2020 — PrecisionOS-Technologie, developers of the Surgical Mastery Platform™, announced today the details of a major breakthrough in basic and advanced fundamentals of arthroscopy training. The company has created the first-of-its-kind arthroscopy simulator available on a mobile, wireless device (Oculus Quest) which will also be used by CONMED International for surgeon education
“Our partnership with CONMED International allows us to immediately expand globally on training surgeons on this complex procedure. Given the challenges of arthroscopic training, the need for a surgeon focused and patient-centered portable solution was very clear.” said Dr. Danny Goel, Orthopedic Surgeon, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, PrecisionOS. “Our company is thrilled to be able to offer this cutting-edge innovation to train surgeons on hip arthroscopy,”
Die PrecisionOS-Methode der VR-Simulation hat sich in einer in der renommierten orthopädischen Fachzeitschrift veröffentlichten Studie gegenüber herkömmlichen Ansätzen als überlegen erwiesen Die Zeitschrift für Knochen- und Gelenkchirurgie. Durch den Vergleich traditioneller Trainingsmethoden mit virtueller Realität zeigte diese Studie, wie die PrecisionOS-Software es Chirurgen ermöglicht, Verfahrenskonzepte deutlich schneller zu erfassen und gleichzeitig die technischen Fähigkeiten zu verbessern.
Diese Art von Eignung ist besonders in der arthroskopischen Chirurgie wichtig. Zum Beispiel hat das Hüftarthroskopie-Training eine umfangreiche Lernkurve. Chirurgen können bis zu 100 Fälle benötigen, bevor sie kompetent werden, was Jahre dauern kann.
Als Teil seines Engagements für Bildung wird PrecisonOS auf dem Young Adult Hip Meeting mit Kursleiterin Dr. Femi Ayeni Ende dieser Woche eine zweite randomisierte kontrollierte Studie und ihr neuartiges Hüftarthroskopie-Modul vorstellen.
“It is exciting to see what’s possible with this new educational platform,” said Dr. Ayeni, a highly regarded hip arthroscopy surgeon who also serves as a Professor and Academic Chair of Orthopaedic Surgery at McMaster University. “So much time can be saved from the reduced need for directed intraoperative teaching of trainees or a reduction of costs associated with traditional cadaveric models. It’s going to be a substantial part of a surgeon’s skill development ‘tool kit’ in the future.”
Neben der Verbesserung von Effizienz und Kompetenz kann PrecisionOS Krankenhaussystemen und Lernzentren erhebliche finanzielle Entlastungen bieten. Da die Module durch eine tragbare Lösung, die Oculus Quest, erleichtert werden, kann das Training überall und jederzeit absolviert werden. Zentren können auch Kapitalkosten einsparen, da die Arthroskopie-Ausbildung schon immer ein teures und risikoreiches Unterfangen war.
“Technology is evolving rapidly right now, more than ever before in history, and the time to embrace change from the status quo is upon us,” said Richard McKillop, Vice President and General Manager, CONMED Latin America and Canada.
“This is a major milestone as the medical community continues to re-evaluate delivery of high quality surgical education. ” Dr. Goel said. “Adding arthroscopic surgery, allows us to offer the most comprehensive educational platform in virtual reality simulation in the market. This aligns with our mission of providing the gold standard in global orthopedic education without geographical limitations. This is not only important to us, but to our new partner, CONMED International.
