"The course utilized the Mentice system, which provided a safe environment for trainees to practice the systematic steps of angiography without any exposure to harmful radiation. The feedback received from trainees was highly positive, with one participant mentioning that they had previously been unable to access the labs for some time and felt that they were missing out on valuable opportunities to train in angiography. However, with the Mentice system, they were able to continue their hands-on training to maintain their skill-set."

The CRM simulator was used a couple of times in educational workshops. The feedback is fantastic, and many implanting physicians have confirmed that the feeling of the catheter, introducer, and lead movement is phenomenal and extremely realistic. It has definitely brought a new dimension to these trainings. For all the meetings, most of our customers spent most of their time on Mentice when compared to other exhibits. Therefore, this makes it a great tool for education!

The design of your physical flow model supplies a tactical feel and motion of how the catheter moves and track. In addition, there is vessel tortuosity and very realistic disease morphology. I believe this type of physiological simulator plays an essential role in the form of a clinical hands-on tactile model that previously did not exist.

Having a virtual simulation system available to improve our skills is extremely relevant. When skills can be improved, and you have the remote support of a physician who has had the opportunity to have more experiences, it is very valuable because it breaks down physical barriers and ensures greater equity in access to the development of a competent professional that involves knowledge, skill, and attitude.

"There are some centers that might only be referred 3 or 4 cases a year, would you really want to be treated by somebody who is only doing that? But if they could on the simulator, once a week once a month, could do 10 or 20 other cases in the year then when they get their next case I think they’re going to do it with much more confidence."

"We were able to publish the results of a study we did with a small group of physicians where we have put the metrics that we have created which defined individual steps and errors. And with these metrics we were able to discriminate between different levels of training, meaning between expert-level interventional neuroradiologists and people who were just at a lower or early stage of their training. Current technology is very useful for physicians at different levels of training. Beginners can start with the technology and learn the very basic skills of large vessel access. People at a more advanced level can repeat the procedure and aim at being quicker and more efficient, so I think it’s absolutely very useful.”

“Before us residents get to do an angiography in a real patient, we have to practice with a simulator. Of course, simulations are the best when they're as close to reality as possible. This here what you see behind us is the real angiography suite, which we do interventions in. It's a real setting. You have the table, you have the control panel, you have the c-arms, which you can move with the control panel. You have the real catheters, so you get to know the feeling, how it works to go up a vessel or to take that turn or this turn.”

“If a center has a small local stroke unit and they want to offer the service of neuro-thrombectomy they might see only 20-30 cases and it's virtually impossible to keep more than one doctor skilled at this procedure with this low number of cases. If you want to offer this at a 24/7 level then you need to make up for the missing numbers of procedures, find alternatives to keep high enough skills amongst 2, 3, or 4physicians.

Proficiency based assessment is that during the training you are assessed and reassessed at different levels of learning, where predefined skills have to be met in order for you to be allowed to continue to the next step. With simulation, you first have to show that you’re proficient at doing a certain procedure before you’re even allowed to touch a patient.”

"The Mentice simulator was fundamental for us to quickly and with little time, but with a lot of quality, to be able to empower Interventional Radiologists, for treatment and training in the technique of prostatic embolization. We had to comply with a regulation of the federal council of medicine, which was each trained professional would need to perform 10 cases to be able to perform a PAE procedure. Otherwise it would have been expensive, because we would have to have a very large pool of patients to be able to individually train interventionalists."

"PAE is one of the most complicated procedures that any interventional radiologist will have done. The anatomy is variable, the use of catheters, microcatheters is very specific. If we can use simulators to...help with some of those complex stages, then it will speed up the training and speed up the competences."

“The simulation will become closer and closer to the reality. In five years, each department will have such a simulator, there will be cost reduction, I'm sure. I could imagine that you can save catheter or material you use, especially at the beginning of your time as an interventional neuroradiologist.”
