FEATURES

Features

Heartbeat coronary artery bypass surgery training device BEAT

BEAT was developed in a Waseda University laboratory in 2004 to help students effectively learn vascular anastomosis techniques, which are one of the basic techniques in cardiovascular surgery.Since then, 275 machines have been used for daily training in nine countries around the world. (as of March 2016).

innovative actuator
Realistic pulsation with “Biometal”

BEAT uses a special shape memory alloy Biometal®. Unlike conventional air drive and motor drive, it reproduces extremely smooth and quiet pulsation. Biometal® is a registered trademark of Toki Corporation.

45 types of beat patterns,
Reproduction of all blood vessel positions

There are 5 heart rate levels (50, 55, 60, 70, 80 bpm). There are 3 pulsation patterns (including vertical and horizontal vibrations). The amplitude of the pulsation can also be adjusted to three levels (weak, medium, strong). The pulsating drive unit is fixed to a special flexible joint, making it possible to reproduce any blood vessel position on the heart surface with a single touch. For example, in the early stages of training, you can practice repeatedly with LAD settings, and gradually increase the difficulty to RCA and Cx.

"Anytime, Anywhere"
Achieving portability

BEAT-S1 can be easily disassembled and assembled without tools. All BEAT components fit into the included carry bag, so you can take it anywhere in the world. If you include your favorite surgical instruments and sutures, you can practice anastomosis anytime and anywhere. You can practice vascular anastomosis at any time and place, such as at a doctor's office, at home, or at a conference venue. In addition to private practice, this is your chance to learn vascular anastomosis tips directly from experienced doctors from around the world. Where and how do you train? The possibilities are endless depending on the teacher's ideas.

No need for instructions
Easy configuration

A little bit of free time between busy clinical work. If you take the time to assemble or move the simulator, your simulator will soon be covered in dust. BEAT was designed from the perspective of busy clinicians to eliminate waste. It takes less than 5 minutes to assemble BEAT-S1 and get it up and running. Simply turn on the controller's power switch and press the START button to start beating.

Developed for anastomosis practice
Special LED lighting

The lighting installed in BEAT was developed in collaboration with Toki Corporation, a pioneer in special LED lighting. There are many factors to consider when designing lighting, such as color temperature, illuminance, heat generation control, and durability. BEAT lighting is equipped with a dedicated control circuit to prevent eye strain even when used for long periods of time.

A design that makes you want to decorate

BEAT is particular about design. Rather than a mannequin type of ``surgical training'', BM has been exploring a new form of surgical training that you will always want to have on hand and show to others. We would be happy if you could install it in a place where your family can see it at home and use it as a communication tool with various people.

Available worldwide

The power supply is 100-240V and uses a worldwide adapter. You can use BEAT anywhere by connecting the connector compatible with that country. It is especially useful for practical presentations and demonstrations of your own products overseas.

Combination with other products

By using BEAT in conjunction with YOUCAN, surgical training that reproduces the pulsation of coronary arteries is possible.

For recruitment of medical staff and student education

During the polyclinic training for fifth-year medical students, students also rotate to surgical departments. By not only observing surgeries, but also providing practical training using simulators, students can realize from an early stage how interesting and profound surgery is, and create opportunities for them to become more interested in surgery. can. Please use it in conjunction with training-specific sutures.

in academic research

Verifying the effectiveness of surgical training and quantifying the learning curve are hot topics of research worldwide. Utilizing the simulator environment, which has no individual differences and is reproducible, it is possible to conduct medical research in new fields, such as quantifying surgical skills and establishing efficient training methods. To date, we have received inquiries from many companies, doctors, and research institutions regarding surgical training research and quantitative evaluation of procedures. In some cases, this has led to joint research.

BEAT

Surgical experience

The simulator can be used ``anytime, anywhere'' and ``by anyone.'' For example, in Ota Ward, we regularly hold surgical experience events for the general public and for elementary and junior high school students. At hospitals, we can contribute to smoother communication in clinical settings, especially through surgical experience for nurses and other healthcare workers.

BEAT

Surgical equipment demo

You can use BEAT for exhibiting your products at academic conferences, hands-on seminars, etc. You can make very effective presentations for conference demonstrations and marketing activities of surgical robots, stabilizers, steel instruments, sutures, etc. At the request of a major medical device manufacturer, we have co-hosted a hands-on seminar on vascular anastomosis techniques.

BEAT

As an informed consent tool

The words ``cardiac surgery'' conjure up various images for patients. It can also be used as a tool to explain surgical techniques that are difficult to understand using schemas and graphics alone in a way that can be intuitively understood.

BEAT

Warm-up before surgery

We have heard from people in the field that they would like to use BEAT to improve the accuracy of image training on the day before surgery. BEAT has undergone numerous improvements to its simple design so as not to inhibit the imagination of teachers. By using BEAT on top of images of the next day's surgery, you can practice anastomosis more realistically. In fact, performing a 1-2 anastomosis before each surgery can further improve the accuracy of the procedure.
