Cardiovascular Simulator

Coronary catheterization training station

A portable, high-fidelity simulator for cardiovascular angiography training — with real instruments, real, and an immersive virtual environment

OVERVIEW

Bridging computer-based simulation and the real cath lab

The system lets physicians and trainees practice endovascular procedures with authentic instrument interaction across many clinical cases and anatomies, bridging the gap between traditional computer-based simulation and real-world catheterization labs.

HOW IT WORKS

The system setup

CV-1 Tracker device. USB-powered station providing accurate real-time tracking of the catheter and the guidewire; includes steering module for C-Arm and injection interaction.

Tablet on a stand. Runs the physical simulation of instruments and the patient’s body and displays the X-Ray view, realistically mimicking the fluoroscope at 60-120 fps.

Real catheter & guidewire. Genuine instruments build the true hand-eye coordination and procedural flow. Simulating 12 different catheter shapes, various bend sizes and diameters (F).

Performance-analytics dashboard. Objective feedback on safety, precision, and efficiency. Detecting more than dozen various operator mistakes.

KEY FEATURES

Realism that matters

Physics-based modelling

Accurate vessel–instrument interaction engine.

Real patient anatomies

A broad spectrum of navigational challenges, including rare cases.

Adaptive haptics

Tactile feedback mimics friction and vessel-contraction events, adjusted to the case.

Rigorous procedure logic

Helps trainees understand the process and avoid typical mistakes.

Core skill development

Instrument navigation, contrast injection, and fluoroscopic image interpretation.

Objective analytics

Built-in comprehensive report on safety, precision, and efficiency for every run.
