Obstetrics and gynecology

Comprehensive and realistic OB-GYN simulation training solutions for all levels with proven transfer to real life

Our expertise

Combining virtual reality simulation with original instruments and anatomic models for realistic tactile feedback, we partner with hospitals, training institiutions, medical societies - such as the European Society for Gynecological Endoscopy (ESGE) and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) - as well as medical device companies.

Our mixed-reality simulators allow residents and surgeons to practice key surgical skills such as camera navigation, fluid management, safe exposure and resection of anatomical structures as well as handling of surgical complications. All this in a highly realistic and stress-free training environment.

In addition trainees can practice their ultrasound, embryo transfer and IUD placement techniques across a large variety of highly realistic patients with anatomical variations and anomalies which are not easily encountered in a real-life training environment.

Partnership

The Embryo Transfer Simulator is truly a game changer. Universally, those using the Simulator have expressed their surprise in how realistic the experience is for them. There has been tremendous excitement generated about the gap filled with this new teaching tool…no simulator can wipe out all the stress of the crucial moment, but the physician will be better prepared and more confident even if this is his or her first time transferring a live embryo.

Dr. Richard Paulson

Former ASRM president

The better doctors are trained, the fewer operative complications there will be. Complications that cost the society millions. I have been working with VirtaMed simulators for several years and for me there is no equivalent in hysteroscopy training.

Vincent Villefranque

MD, Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Centre Hospitalier Simone-Veil, France

Our goal is that everyone leaves here competent in obstetrics and gynecology, and the VirtaMed GynoS is a great tool to do that!

Anthony C. Sciscione

D.O., ObGyn Residency Program Director, ChristianaCare

VirtaMed is the world’s leading company in developing virtual reality training devices in medicine. They already have a successful history of producing simulators for other techniques in reproductive medicine. We feel confident that their expertise in training devices and our expertise in infertility care will combine to make a terrific product. A product whose use will improve patient care.

Rebecca Sokol

MD, MPH, ASRM Past President

The time of see one, do one, teach one is gone. Fellows today need to train on simulators over and over again until they achieve a defined competency level. The Embryo Transfer Certificate Course is essential in both the development and maintenance of embryo transfer skills.

Richard Reindollar

M.D., CEO of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine

Training for hysteroscopy is very challenging on live patients. Skills training in residency is limited. A hysteroscopic simulator is the best way to really train residents and practicing physicians in procedures. This particular hysteroscopic trainer is an excellent device for training for polypectomy and myomectomy.
