Working to accommodate successful surgeries and reduce procedure time,
while minimizing risk to the doctor and patient.
The Cardio Simulator Project is an R&D project to develop 3D heart models using CT data for use in medical and educational institutions. In addition to our standard training model, we are developing made to order Cardio Simulators for individual patients, and Pulsating Simulators for coronary anastomosis training.
Cardiovascular surgeries require completion within a short period, and with the high degree of difficulty, surgery tends to be performed only by the most skilled surgeons. Therefore, the development of a highly precise 3D heart model contributes to the growth of many beginning doctors, who can repeatedly practice surgery on a model with high reproducibility.
We are proud to provide heart lumens with the highest degree of reproducibility in the world. The project has been praised for its high technical skill and impact and took the BEST 100 award at the 2013 Good Design Awards. Furthermore, the Surgery Training Model we developed as part of the same project won the 2017 Good Design Award as well.
