Description
The Complete Open Vascular Surgery Simulation Platform
The Open Vascular Training System (OVTS) is a complete open vascular surgery simulator — the most versatile and comprehensive option for surgical skills training. One system supports an entire training curriculum: the OVTS accepts ReSuture’s interchangeable procedural cartridges, each recreating a complete surgical field with synthetic vasculature that cuts and sutures like live human tissue. Simulated blood flow brings procedures to life, and replaceable cartridges mean every trainee gets a fresh, consistent surgical field — without the cost, scheduling, and variability of cadaver or animal labs.
Skills Training
- Carotid endarterectomy
- Vascular anastomosis
- Abdominal aorta aneurysm repair
- Shunting and stent placement
- Arteriotomy and patch angioplasty
- Vascular suturing and tissue handling
- Anatomy
- Dissection
Who It’s For
Surgical residency and fellowship programs building a repeatable open-skills curriculum; simulation centers needing durable platforms with replaceable consumables; and medical device companies running demonstrations and physician training.
