LAP-X Hybrid is a unique laparoscopic simulator that combines the functionality of a virtual reality trainer and a box trainer. Users can train on virtual reality mode at different curriculum modules: basic, novice, intermediate, advance, and procedural modules like appendectomy, cholecystectomy, nephrectomy, etc. The trainee can switch to box trainer mode easily at any time. As a box trainer, the LAP-X Hybrid has the possibilities of metrics measurement and performance recording. All validated box exercises are compatible with the LAP-X, providing the user with real haptic feedback training. The instructor has the functionality to prerecord the example-exercise. The user can then record his own performance and submit to the instructor to be assessed online.
LAP-X VR
LAP-X VR is a virtual reality laparoscopic simulator. LAP-X VR provides a validated package of five curricula of increasing difficulty in virtual reality environments, in order to attain proficiency skill levels. Users can train in the following curriculum modules: basic, novice, intermediate, advance, and procedural modules like appendectomy, cholecystectomy, nephrectomy, etc.
The LAP-X VR is upgradable to LAP-X Hybrid.
LAP-X Box
