Endovascular simulator specialist CATHI has launched a campaign promoting CATHIS Smart, its portable system, to medical technology and pharmaceutical companies.
CATHIS Smart displays all types of endovascular intervention in any medical field, however complex and challenging they may be. The system is particularly appropriate for neuroradiology, cardiology, radiology, angiology and pneumology.
Being the size of a laptop, CATHIS Smart is transportable and can be completely customised to satisfy individual customer needs, such as being set up with specific devices or instruments, along with associated special features.
Rather than having to run through the entire procedure every time they want to reach a particular section, operators can jump directly to specific steps.
Prof Andreas Götte, head of cardiology at the St Vincenz Hospital, Paderborn, Germany, said: “Simulators are essential items of equipment for the cath lab, both for initial training and maintaining vital skills. But to be effective they must resemble ‘real life’ clinical practice: we must see the coronary artery as it really is, being able to manipulate guide wires as well as catheters and balloons.”
Manuela Werner, managing director of marketing and sales, added: “CATHI is a small German-based independent supplier of endovascular simulators. We design and manufacture all our software and hardware in-house, which means that we can provide completely customised systems to extremely high specifications. We also offer unique features not found on any other systems, such as the deployment of liquids.”
