Gi Mentor

Upper and Lower GI Endoscopy Training Simulation

The GI Mentor™ is the gold standard simulator for the training of gastrointestinal upper and lower endoscopic procedures, offering a comprehensive library of modules with more than 120 tasks and virtual patient cases. The simulator provides multiple training opportunities with true to life patient cases offering realistic scenarios of clinical situations, ranging from simple diagnostic procedures to advanced ERCP and Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) procedures.

Original Colonoscope and Duodenoscope have been customized to provide realistic simulation including tactile sensations and various endoscopic tools. The GI Mentor provides an excellent environment for practicing clinical procedures in a safe and realistic manner.

The GI-BRONCH Mentor platform offers a combined system for the training of both GI Endoscopy and Flexible Bronchoscopy.

The most comprehensive hands-on training for upper and lower GI endoscopy, with over 100 tasks and diagnostic / therapeutic virtual patient cases.

The most extensive curricula from basic diagnostics, through complex and emergency cases to challenging ERCP, EMR and ESD procedures
Educational aids such as 3D anatomical map, pain indicator and virtual instructor provide dynamic feedback as to trainee decisions and actions and patient safety during case performance
The most evidence-based simulator for GI endoscopy with over 40 studies and demonstrated skills-transfer

We have been very interested in improving patient care through learning and essentially rehearsing the procedures before we treat the patients.

Using advanced simulation techniques similar to what pilots use, we are able to take patient specific information and rehearse the procedure before we actually perform the real procedure.

Simulators will have a place in the future to plan a procedure.

They are not only for training. They allow us to look at the anatomy and try devices before we actually start the procedure.

I remember my days as a new intern….the first cases I performed were very difficult and it was a scary experience, since it takes between 10-20 procedures until you really feel that you are proficient.

With today’s technological advances we have the ability to train doctors on full procedures using medical simulators as advanced as the Simbionix ANGIO Mentor, prior to having them perform on live patients. By providing this opportunity, the learning curve is significantly shortened and trainees gain confidence before they approach their first cases.

I want to emphatically state that simulated laparoscopic training with LapSim should be a cornerstone of surgeon training and absolutely contributes to patient safety.

In the last 25 years, I have organized about 50 courses in practical surgery for residents and specialists in Obstetrics and Gynecology. In the courses involving laparoscopy, LapSim has been used to a significant extent for training and evaluation. With the extensive scientific documentation available, and based on my many years of experience with LapSim, I want to emphatically state that simulated laparoscopic training with LapSim should be a cornerstone of surgeon training and absolutely contributes to patient safety.
