Simurghlator


The Simurghlator is our state-of-the-art modular simulation platform.
This multi-modality dry simulation platform has been developed to accommodate the training of various cardiovascular and thoracic procedures. The Simurghlator platform supports a growing number of low- and high-fidelity Modules.

Versatile Modular Setup

Our high-fidelity Mitral Valve Module is now available. Simurghlator Modules can be exchanged for low- or high-fidelity Modules supporting specific procedures. This makes Simurghlator a future-proof platform.

Supports Multiple Approaches

The Simurghlator was designed to support conventional approaches with direct vision (full sternotomy, mini-sternotomy, mini-thoracotomy), endoscopy or thoracoscopy, as well as robot-assisted approaches.

Performance Feedback

High-fidelity Simurghlator Modules actively measure the exact depth and length of each suture placed, which is also saved in an image. The target depth and length can be pre-set, which enables skill optimization for even the most experienced surgeons.

Anatomical Accuracy

Highly accurate anatomical consumables have been created in materials that mimic the specific tissue characteristics for a realistic suturing experience. Using an individual patient’s 3D imaging reconstruction, you can also choose to 3D print patient-specific anatomy.

Evidence Based

Our Simurghlator offers unprecedented options for dry simulation training, focused on the technically most complex parts of multiple procedures - instead of wet full procedure simulation. Its added value has been validated in multiple publications.

Stand-Alone Usability

The Simurghlator is integrated in a solid flight case for easy transportation. The monitor is mountable on four corners of the platform and is connected to the integrated computer and cameras. This enables stand-alone use without any connectivity.

Simurghlator Modules

Our Simurghlator supports interchangeable modules to train and prepare for a range of different surgical procedures.

Due to the complexity of the mitral valve and diversity of its pathology, mitral valve repair is among the most complex and difficult procedures in cardiac surgery. Performing mitral valve repair through minimally invasive techniques (MIMVR - whether endoscopically, through direct vision, or with robotic assistance) is even more difficult. The most critical technical steps are working with long-shafted instruments endoscopically and placing sutures on the mitral valve annulus. Therefore, the learning curve of MIMVR is steep and unfortunately still developed in patients.

The Mitral Valve Module provides a platform to train the endoscopic skills repeatedly. Additionally, this Module provides objective assessment and feedback, which is essential in any simulator-based training. This Module can also be used for robotic-assisted mitral valve repair or minimally invasive mitral valve repair with direct vision.

Tactile Anatomy Consumables

Generic Mitral Valve

The generic Mitral Valve consumable is made of a specifically developed silicone to provide a realistic suturing experience.

Patient-specific Mitral Valve

The generic Mitral Calve consumable can be replaced by a custom 3D-printed patient-specific mitral valve.

Papillary Muscle

The optional Papillary Muscle consumable can be used for simulating the suturing of the neochordae.
