Backed by rigorous research
Our published, peer-reviewed research with surgeons identified that the key features of a simulator was that it should be:
Accessible
Affordable
Ethical
Validated
Reusable
Portable
Through iterative clinical validation, our research also showed how our simulators replicate:
procedural difficulty
The Neo-natal anatomy
The surgical experience
and provides a tool that is:
Valuable
Relevant
