CAE ProMIS simulator
CAE ProMIS™ is the first hybrid simulator designed to train learners in the basic skills of minimally invasive (or laparoscopic) surgery and is the only simulator for port entry/single incision surgery. It comprises a number of modules designed to develop and evaluate surgical proficiency.
Why train with the CAE ProMIS simulator?
CAE ProMIS uniquely enables users to interact with virtual and physical models and real surgical instruments in the same unit while providing accurate, comprehensive feedback on performance.

Using real-time dynamic imaging and a custom-designed mannequin, the CAE VIMEDIX echocardiography simulator, provides healthcare professionals with an unparalleled training environment for the thoracic cavity and basic to complex cardiac pathologies. Learners can perform a realistic echo assessment of cardiac structures, practice hand-eye coordination and probe handling, and improve pathology recognition skills.
The 3D animated heart can be independently cut and rotated, rib and lung artefacts can be toggled on/off. Images can be adjusted with EKG tracing, gain and contrast settings, depth of field, as well as calliper and area measurements. The software also allows the handler to perform rib acoustic shadowing, lung artefacts, reverberations and other realistic imaging features.
