[S-00005] PHACON Sinus Trainer

Practice surgical interventions and present instruments

The PHACON Sinus Trainer offers the opportunity to train sinus and skull base operations. By using PHACON Sinus Patients of different anatomies, the haptic feeling of an operation can be learned with real surgical instruments. With the help of the included tracker, all instruments can be easily connected to our software via visual registration. The CT data displayed in the navigation software and the 360 ​​° rotatable virtual 3D model of the PHACON Sinus Patient used then allow perfect orientation; CT slices can be displayed in the sagittal, axial and coronal representation with the desired contrast and brightness.

Furthermore, injuries of risk structures are automatically recognized. In addition, the trainer is suitable as an effective marketing tool for the presentation of medical devices and instruments. Numerous companies from Germany and the world already use the trainer for training courses, presentations and for marketing purposes.
