Inovus Medical launches 5 advanced procedural skills modules for HystAR platform
St. Helens, UK – 28th October 2024 – Inovus Medical, a global leader in surgical training technology, has announced the launch of five new modules for the HystAR Hysteroscopy simulator. The simulator of choice for AAGL’s EMIGS programme, provides a full training pathway from basic scope and instrument handling skills to full procedural training. The system uniquely offers a ‘digital wetlab’ in which the Totum digital surgery platform provides tracking and recording of wetlab procedural training. This feature has proven popular with industry, surgical societies and physicians across the globe. The wetlab procedural training is the focus for the five new modules, each delivering enhanced realism and expanded clinical training opportunities.
The new modules include Retained Products of Conception (RPOC), uterine Septum, Dilation and Curettage (D&C), Endometrial Ablation/Resection, and Fundal Block training. These modules incorporate cutting-edge synthetic soft tissue pathologies, providing unprecedented haptic feedback that mimics the tactile responses surgeons encounter in live hysteroscopy procedures. This next-generation development ensures that the HystAR simulator remains the most realistic and immersive hysteroscopy training tool available on the market. The addition of five new modules positions the HystAR as having the widest breadth of training modules for any platform on the market.
All new models have the capability to be operated on using basic instruments, uterine shavers and bipolar devices
Since its initial launch, the HystAR has been setting the standard for procedural training in hysteroscopy. Developed to address the critical need for safe and accessible training in diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy, HystAR has quickly become a go-to tool for both new trainees and experienced gynecologists looking to refine their skills. With a unique combination of advanced haptic feedback, visual fidelity, and robust performance metrics, HystAR delivers a lifelike simulation experience that builds surgical competence and confidence.
Currently, nearly 300 residency sites across the United States have a HystAR simulator installed, giving gynecologic surgery trainees unparalleled access to high-quality, immersive training. These new modules are designed to further elevate the residency training experience, allowing for more detailed, scenario-based learning. The inclusion of realistic soft tissue pathologies in procedures such as RPOC and endometrial ablation ensures that residents are better prepared to handle the challenges they will face in the operating room.
With the release of these advanced modules, Inovus Medical continues its commitment to delivering world-class surgical training technology. “We are excited to expand the capabilities of the HystAR platform and enhance the training opportunities available to gynecologic surgery residents and clinicians worldwide,” said Ross Davies, Global Product Manager of Inovus Medical. “Our partnership with AAGL and the nearly 300 residency sites across the US is a testament to the trust placed in HystAR to deliver essential hands-on experience. These new modules further ensure that trainees are equipped with the skills and confidence needed to excel in the ever-evolving field of hysteroscopic surgery.”
The new modules will go live in the Totum platform on 8 November, 2024, with the associated uterus models being available to order through Inovus Medical's global commercial team from 8 November, 2024. In addition, all Totum users will be able to request the uterus models from their Totum supply suite from 8 November, 2024.
