HystSim & TURPSim 2012: Updates for our favorite simulators and new Laser Module

The updates 2012 for our existing simulators HystSim and TURPSim contain in total 167 smaller or larger improvements. Some of them are of direct use for our customers, some of them are hidden in the software and graphics engine. For example, we enhanced the flow simulation and the bubbles and upgraded the visual appearance of the graphics to the latest standards. Here are the highlights of the new versions 2012:

New Features
Different courses guide the trainee on the way up the learning curve. Basic courses prepare for longer, more difficult course setups. The history of all the patient cases a user accomplished is easier to handle and much more user-friendly. Choose directly in the feedback report in which format your intervention should be shown. Export your Feedback Report and save it – including the movie – on a USB Stick or disk. And the user can choose between a monopolar or a bipolar resection loop.
