Under the current surgical educational system, residents, and fellows have had significantly less hands-on experience in which they have been allowed to make independent decisions and be responsible for the consequences of those decisions. Strategic Operations™, Inc. ("STOPS") uses proprietary and patented* technology to bring training to the next level. The Surgical Simulation Trainer™ and Advanced Surgical Skills Packages™ ("ASSPs") provide for our own "hyper-realistic
®" training.
Using simulation as a training modality, instruction and education can be paused with "time outs" for illustrating critical teaching points and then restarted. Our Surgical Simulation Trainer in conjunction with our Advanced Surgical Skills Packages allow residents and fellows to experience various trauma and general surgery scenarios in a "hyper-realistic®" high-fidelity model where they willingly suspend their disbelief that they are not working on a simulation trainer, but on a real person.

Surgical Blood Pumping System
|
|
• State of the art blood pumping system that can simulate arterial or venous blood flow.
• Analog pressure gauges that depict the pulse and indicate when blood flow has stopped.
• Adjustable blood pressure, flow and pulsatile controls.
• Two independently controlled pumps send blood through four outlets into the ASSPs
• Wall-mountable light display of real-time pump operation for all training participants to view.
• Foot-operated interrupter on/off switch of system flow & pulses
• Digital voltage-meters that gauge the viscosity of the blood mix
• Uses up to a 6-gallon standard bucket of STOPS Artificial Surgical SFX Blood.
