The facility features 20 simulated operating room stations equipped with scrub sinks, surgical beds, and tables, overhead OR lighting, dual LED monitors, and ceiling supply units.
The Surgical Skills Laboratory is designed to be multifunctional and offers a variety of configurations to accommodate any group size.
The area can be used as one large space or divided into two or four smaller spaces allowing for multiple education sessions to occur at once.
- Pan-tilt-zoom Cameras: four stations are fitted with in-light cameras to enable real-time imaging that can be remotely displayed across the lab and classrooms.An integrated system of pan-tilt-zoom cameras offers the ability to video record laboratory sessions.
- Laparoscopic Simulators: Designed to simulate minimally invasive surgical techniques, these allow trainees to practice and refine their skills in a realistic yet controlled environment.
- High-Fidelity Patient Simulators: These lifelike mannequins can simulate a variety of medical conditions, enabling healthcare providers to practice complex procedures, from cardiac resuscitation to trauma response.
- Ultrasound Machines: Equipped with the latest technology, our ultrasound systems provide accurate and immediate imaging, essential for diagnostic and procedural training.
- Endoscopic Simulators: With our advanced endoscopy simulation tools, professionals can perfect their skills in procedures such as gastroscopy, colonoscopy, and bronchoscopy.
- High-fidelity cadaveric and plastinated models: These models can simulate a variety of medical conditions, enabling healthcare providers to practice complex procedures, from cardiac resuscitation to trauma response.
Our high-quality C-Arm enables real-time, high-resolution imaging, critical for procedures requiring precision. It’s an essential tool for fluoroscopy-guided surgeries and radiological interventions.
The use of GE HealthCare OEC C-arms has been crucial in our simulation-based medical education programs.
As we continue to leverage the advanced technology of OEC C-arms, we remain committed to providing superior care, achieving excellence in medical imaging, and fostering cutting-edge medical education.
What to expect?
Laboratory Activities
If your program involves the following approaches or activities, then the Surgical Skills Laboratory (SSL) is the appropriate space to book.
Cadaveric tissue is often used for teaching complex surgical procedures, such as dissections, suturing, and laparoscopic techniques, offering an unparalleled opportunity for learners to gain tactile experience. By working with real human tissue, learners can better understand the intricacies of human anatomy and improve their skills in a controlled, supervised setting.
The Surgical Skills Laboratory (SSL) allows learners to practice a range of surgical techniques, including suturing, laparoscopic procedures, and orthopedic surgeries using both simulators and cadaveric tissue.
Advanced procedures, such as vascular, cardiothoracic, neurosurgical, and trauma surgeries, can be performed in a realistic environment for hands-on training.
Specialized training in urologic and gynecologic surgeries is supported, providing opportunities to refine complex skills using anatomical models and cadaveric specimens.
If your activity involves surgical procedures and anatomy reviews, the Surgical Skills Laboratory (SSL) is an ideal space to support both aspects.
Anatomy reviews are closely tied to these activities, as understanding the anatomy is essential for successful surgical procedures. The SSL's resources, such as cadaveric prosections and anatomical models, allow learners to review anatomy in detail before or during procedural training, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience that integrates both surgical practice and anatomical knowledge.
