L’entreprise montréalaise OSSimTech fabrique des simulateurs haute fidélité pour former 
les futurs chirurgiens orthopédistes partout dans le monde...

Surgical Education in Canada’s Residency Programs are incorporating competency based simulation as part of the new curricula. Dr. Marie-Ève LeBel describes changes in the Canadian surgical residency programs in her field of orthopaedics.

If talk of augmented and virtual reality brings to mind comically unfashionable goggles, a dearth of useful applications, and headache-inducing graphics, we’d understand. Until two or three years ago, we thought the same—they were technologies of the future and always would be.

Continuing our coverage of the IMSH exhibit floor simulation vendors, today we share about the Open Knee Surgical Simulator from OSSim Technologies simulators, which are developed by highly-skilled engineers and clinicians, using the latest  technology in haptic feedback. The virtual reality environment precisely recreates the sound, force, and imaging of real-life actions.

OSSim Technologies, a leader in the development and commercialization of open surgery simulators, announced today that it is pursuing its expansion in the field of open surgery simulation by adding two new surgery applications, neurosurgery and spine surgery, to its list of virtual reality simulators.

It may look like a video game, but a new virtual reality knee surgery simulator is built to teach essential skills. The Montreal-made simulator, known as the SIM-K, allows young surgeons to learn how to perform complicated knee replacements — without picking up a saw or drill.
