Surgeons use the full range of real laparoscopic instruments to complete the procedure, interacting with a mix of virtual reality and physical models. </div> <div> <B>Show, Practice, Measure</B></div> <div> ProMIS LC is built on a `Show, Practice, Measure' model of training. Surgeons are guided through the procedure step-by-step, and at the end are given feedback on their performance. As they work, the surgeon's instruments - and hand - are tracked as they perform the procedure. (For more on ProMIS Metrics, <A HREF="id63.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="ProMIS Metrics">click here >>></A>) It is this combination of real and virtual worlds that enables ProMIS LC to deliver a highly realistic and engaging learning experience.</div> <div> <B>Limitless practice</B></div> <div> For surgeons who already perform Laparoscopic Colectomy, ProMIS LC provides a focused, easy-to-use training regimen that facilitates transition to hand-assisted. For surgeons who perform Open Colectomy and who wish to take advantage of laparoscopic approaches, the simulator provides an end-to-end experience that builds skill and provides extended opportunities for practice.</div> <div> <B>Step-by-Step Procedure</B></div> <div> <IMG SRC="248a4c00.png" border=0 width="420" height="704" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <B>ProMIS Surgical Simulator</B></div> <div> ProMIS™ is unique in combining virtual and real worlds in the same system. Users learn, practice and measure their proficiency with real instruments on real models with real haptics and real context.</div> <div> <B>Validated</B></div> <div> The award-winning ProMIS has become the simulator of choice for leading skills centers worldwide. Studies have validated ProMIS' effectiveness in training and assessing laparoscopic skill - including on FLS Tasks and with robotic instrumentation. These studies also show that users prefer ProMIS over VR Simulators. (Fellinger, et al 2006)</div> <div> <B>Integrates easily into the Curriculum</B></div> <div> ProMIS is the only simulator that adapts to your curriculum: it can use Tasks designed locally and can use the SAGES/ACS Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery program. Three studies published at SAGES 2006 validated ProMIS as a measurement tool for FLS and concluded that "ProMIS FLS scores are excellent predictors of scores in the standard FLS simulator. (McCluney et al, P237). </div> <div> In addition, ProMIS' own Basic Skills Program can be adapted to suit local needs through its unique Open Module and ability to set proficiency levels.</div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="24d01040.png" border=0 width="1" height="4" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Easy to set up and use</B></div> <div> ProMIS™ scores consistently high with users and administrators. In a recent study that compared ProMIS with a VR simulator, "Scores for ProMIS were significantly higher for overall realism, thread behavior, reflection of clinical ability, and overall educational value." (Fellinger, et al, P224)</div> <div> <B>Networked for user records</B></div> <div> For administrators, ProMIS™ is easy to store, set up and has an outstanding track record in terms of robustness and consistent performance. User records are easily accessed and group performance reports are easily generated. A networked system is available that enables data from more than one ProMIS simulator to be gathered quickly and easily on a single server.</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
