Training Tools

ESPINEA® is constantly striving for latest educational tools and technologies thus ensuring most modern and efficient training and learning, on-site and online, with real or virtual evolvements.

Upsurgeon spine series

With the “Spine Series” by UpSurgeOn, ESPINEA® offers the opportunity to train with hyper-realistic spine surgery models. These highly accurate anatomical models are designed for wet and dry simulations and also come with a built-in water management system for simulating irrigation.

ESPINEA® offers the Endoscopy LumbarBox Model for Training. The Endoscopy LumbarBox is a Hyper-realistic Simulator for Endoscopic Lumbar Surgery.   

Specifications

  • 10 operable levels
  • Surgical realism
  • Water management system
  • Standard x-ray and ct scan
  • Tear-resistant skin

Realist Spine Training Model

The different models on offer provide a realistic training experience for endoscopic surgeons. Key anatomical landmarks and tissues can be experienced life-like, even with simulation of bleedings and CSF flow.

lumbar training Model

The model comes with a lumbar spine and respective nerves. The surface shows various incisions to insert instruments. With an endoscope the pathology can be viewed and identified. The opening on the side can be used to explain specifically the transforaminal access.

Specifications

  • Lumbar Training Model
  • Tissue-like foam
  • Removable spine with nerves
  • Various incisions to insert instruments
  • Size: 17 x 34 x 25 cm (h x w x d)
  • Weight: appr. 3 kg

Surgery simulator torso

Suitable for all endoscopic approaches e.g. with joimax® TESSYS®,iLESSYS® and MultiZYTE®. The spine is radiopaque and gives excellent and realistic images under fluoroscopy. Under endoscopic view, the orientation and handling of the instruments can be demonstrated and trained. The transforaminal access can also be shown with Intracs® making fluoroscopy unnecessary. For this special option a modified model will be available. The artificial torso comes very close to reality thanks to its multi-pathologic “T10/S5 iliac crest” spine including a spondylolisthesis (grade II) at level L5/S1, an extraforaminally herniated disc at level L3/L4 and a foraminally herniated disc at level L4/L5.

Specifications

  • Surgery Simulator Torso
  • Tissue-similar solid foam
  • Embedded radiopague spine and nerves
  • Size: appr. 26,5 |57,5 |38,5 cm (h / w / d)
  • Weight: approx. 5 kg

endotrainer® plus

With the joimax® EndoTrainer Plus, the transforaminal surgical technique TESSYS® and the interlaminar surgical technique iLESSYS® can be trained in the prone and lateral patient position. Under realistic conditions and constant monitoring by the navigation software, surgery accompanying X-rays can be simulated.

Benefits

  • Important tool for learning the transforaminal and interlaminar endoscopic approach to the lumbar spine
  • Realistic sensory feedback for improved learning
  • Train the entire OR-team

Specifications

  • Navigation camera
  • Laptop with navigation software
  • Torso with variable position in prone, lateral left and
  • lateral right position
  • Spine model with interchangeable tissue inserts
  • Mini Live Cam for displaying the actual instrument position
  • joimax® instrument set, consisting of navigation pointer, needle, guiding rod, reamer and working tube
  • Calibration tools for easy instrument registration
  • joimax® EndoTrainer® Foraminoscope® for endoscopic live cam view
