Dr. Nigel Hacking, Interventional Radiologist

"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."

Prof. Joaquim Maurício Motta Leal Filho, Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paul

"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."

Dr. Timothy Bryant, Consultant Interventional Radiologist University Hospital Southampton, Hampshire, England

"Simulation gives you theopportunity to gain experience from other people’s cases. It gives you theopportunity in a condensed format to experience different anatomical variancethat might be gained in over 100 cases into 6-10."

Dr. Nigel Hacking, University Hospital Southampton

"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."

Dr. Sachin Modi, Consultant Interventional Radiologist University Hospital Southampton, Hampshire, England

"The amount ofscenarios that can be encountered on the simulator cannot necessarily bemirrored in real life. Those using it can get to a level of expertise quickerand faster with the variety of scenarios that can be encountered insimulation."

Chris Hughes

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.
