Ultrasound Examinations and Interventions Training Simulation
The U/S Mentor is a high-end medical simulator for the training of ultrasound-related examinations and interventions.
The Ultrasound Mentor offers a multidisciplinary, realistic hands-on training for the ever-growing utilization of ultrasound in medicine especially at point of care (POC) setting. It provides residents, fellows, and practicing physicians an opportunity to acquire and improve their sonography-related skills on a variety of virtual patients. The simulator, is designed to provide the optimal educational environment to reach and demonstrate competency levels.
The Simbionix Ultrasound Mentor enables easy rotation of the simulator’s mannequin, conforming with the preferred training module. Each mannequin model features realistic accurate landmarks that assist in probe positioning. A variety of commonly used probes are provided with the system. The probe can be seamlessly changed enabling a different approach. Desktop and cart-based configurations offer portable and ergonomic solutions.
The Simbionix Ultrasound Mentor is a high-fidelity simulator used for ultrasound examination and intervention training. This state-of-the art system provides students, residents, fellows and practicing physicians the optimal solution for acquiring, practicing and improving their sonography skills on a wide variety of patient anatomies and pathologies.

At Phantasim, we offer an aftercare package to ensure our friendly support team can offer assistance should you incur an issue with your simulator or modules. Phantasim are based in Western Australia, however your aftercare package allows us to remotely access your simulator via satellite and resolve any issues remotely. Should your simulator require hands-on assessment, our support team will visit your facility anywhere within Australia or New Zealand to appraise your simulator and provide a solution.
Whether you’re in Australia or New Zealand, our team at Phantasim are your surgical simulation partners. Our dedicated team handle distribution, maintenance, and ongoing aftercare for simulation units and modules.
Phantasim are proudly partnered with Surgical Science, who manufacture the simulation units which support the education and growth of medical professionals across the globe.
Our aftercare team at Phantasim are just a phone call away. Once you’ve received your simulator, we will visit your facility for installation and analysis as well as provide ongoing aftercare and support.
Each simulator has remote access capabilities, allowing our team to assess any issues or irregular activities from any location. Alternatively, our support team can visit your facility as part of your aftercare package.

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

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.

I want to emphatically state that simulated laparoscopic training with LapSim should be a cornerstone of surgeon training and absolutely contributes to patient safety.
Clinical simulation training allows students in the medical field to practice their skills in an authentic, safe, simulation environment. Simulation-based training provides a great opportunity for students to increase their knowledge in both technical and non-technical procedures, with built-in software providing feedback and guidance along the way. Students can practice, learn, and increase their surgical skills with peace of mind knowing they’re safely practicing without risking the life of a live patient.
Absolutely. Simulation training allows medical professionals to practice their skills via virtual reality without risking the safety of a live patient. They also have the benefit of reducing the demand on supervision time which leads to more skilled and confident medical professionals. Whilst using the simulator, real time guidance and feedback is provided with the software so any mistakes made are recognised instantly.
Universities throughout Australia and New Zealand would greatly benefit from investing in a surgical simulator for their students studying in the medical industry. This advanced tool allows students to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to move into their preferred field with both confidence and competence.
A human patient simulator typically ranges in price from $10,000 to $100,000 depending on the type, brand, features, and included support services.
