Why use the OTOSURG simulator

  • To train in oto-endoscopy, to learn how to handle an endoscope or exoscope in a realistic environment

  • To teach and practice surgical procedures such as hearing aid fitting, without risk to the patient

Advantages of the OTOSURG simulator

  • Realistic procedure and endoscopic view of the eardrum

  • Scalability of the model according to the learning curve and the audience: different widths of the ear canal, possibility of coloured visual indicators…

  • Repeatability of the procedure for the same group

  • Playful and didactic learning aspect

  • Customised options and adaptability of the model according to needs

The OTOSURG simulator is a simulation model for oto-endoscopic surgery. It is designed for training in transcanal tympanic cavity surgery.

Thanks to its disposable cartridges, it can perform a range of surgical procedures :

  • Removal of the skin from the ear canal,
  • Lifting of the eardrum,
  • Separation of the ossicles,
  • Exploration of the tympanic cavity,
  • Cutting the tympanic cord and ligaments,
  • PORP / TORP placement.

 

The OTOSURG simulator is available in a set consisting of :

  • 1 anatomical ear model
  • 1 articulated arm
  • 1 set of disposable cartridges to choose from various pathologies

 

 

Type of cartridges available* :

  • Normal tympanic case (no pathology cartridge)

 

  • Tympanic perforations (possibility to customise the type of perforation – contact us)
    • Posterior perforation
    • Anterior perforation

 

  • Otosclerosis
    • Otosclerosis (normal case with fixed stapes)
    • Otosclerosis after stapedectomy (stapes and plate missing, thin membrane under the oval window)

 

  •  Ossiculoplasty
    • Normal case, no incus, for PORP placement
    • Normal case, no incus, no stapes, mobile plate, for TORP placement

 

NB : other types of cartridge are under development. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.

 

In addition, we offer :

  • fake liquid blood, to make the simulation environment more realistic
  • an aponeurosis plate (50 x 50 x 0.3mm, 3D printed)
  • a cartilage plate (50 x 50 x 0.9mm, 3D printed)

Model developed by Assistance Publique – Hôpitaux de Paris, Université Paris Cité and ilumens laboratory
