  • In vitro surgical suite

In vitro surgical suite

A 350 sq. ft surgical suite and support area for simulations using medical imaging and state-of-the-art benchtop vessel models with fluoroscopic imaging during device placement and testing, quantifiable real-time flow and pressure measurement capabilities, and live video monitoring, recording, and streaming of all surgical procedures.

In vitro “patient” with specific anatomical (tailored vessel models) real-time control of physiological (blood flow and pressures) to emulate relevant patient age, sex, and ethnicity variations utilizing:

  • Fluoroscope imaging, roadmap, digital subtraction (DSA), vessel compliance testing (Skanray Scan-C fluoroscope)
  • Video recording of the surgical procedure (HD quality)
  • Real-time display of flow rates and pressure changes across multiple vessel branches, aneurysm domes, etc.
  • Multi-channel recording and streaming of all video, fluoro, and data outputs
