Features

COLOMASTER is a commercialized prototype developed through joint research with the National Cancer Center (President: Nakagama Hitoshi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo).

We developed an anatomically accurate simulator that can reproduce surgery from start to finish (at the NEXT Medical Device Development Center). This simulator allows patients to understand the anatomical structures, view, and dissection techniques that are important in surgery.

This will enable the creation of a high-quality, affordable training environment both domestically and internationally, further contributing to the improvement of surgeons' skills.

Important blood vessels and membrane structures are reproduced with ultra-precision to the millimeter level

Previous simulators have been designed to allow surgical training by extracting and deforming a part of the entire surgical process. COLOMASTER has a wide range of models, including the mesentery and peritoneum, which are important in laparoscopic surgery, as well as the stomach, duodenum, pancreas, colon,
Organs such as the small intestine and kidneys, as well as the superior mesenteric artery and vein, ileocolic artery and vein, middle colonic artery and vein, and gastrocolic venous trunk are accurately and precisely reproduced anatomically with an accuracy of 1 mm.

Precision training made possible

The important blood vessels and membrane structures are accurately and precisely reproduced anatomically with an accuracy of 1 mm, enabling precise training in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy, which was previously difficult. In recent years, it can also be effectively used for functional evaluation in the development process of surgical robots, which have evolved significantly, and for robotic surgery training.

Available worldwide

You can learn anatomical structures, visual field development, and dissection techniques, which are important in surgery. This will realize a high-quality, low-cost training environment both in Japan and overseas, and will contribute to improving the skills of surgeons. It will also be useful for practical presentations overseas and demonstrations of your own products.

PURPOSE

Purpose

Animals, cadavers and simulators are used to train surgeons.

However, there are ethical and cost barriers to using animals or donating bodies, and the environment is not yet fully adequate. Also, there were no simulators that allowed surgeons to train in all steps of surgical procedures using the forceps and devices that they normally use in surgery.

Therefore, we have developed an anatomically accurate simulator that can reproduce the entire operation from start to finish together with the Department of Colorectal Surgery at the National Cancer Center East Hospital (Location: NEXT Medical Device Development Center). This simulator allows the understanding of anatomical structures, visual field development, and dissection techniques, which are considered important in surgery. This will realize a high-quality, low-cost training environment anywhere in Japan and overseas, and will further contribute to improving the skills of surgeons.

Usage example

Training/Qualification/License Training

We support doctors in maintaining and improving their skills at every stage, including initial training, advanced training, and training to become a specialist. COLOMASTE allows doctors to understand anatomical structures, develop visual fields, and learn dissection techniques, which are important in surgery. Please use it "for the day that will come" so that you can be prepared for any clinical opportunity that may come your way.

For recruitment of medical staff and student education

In the fifth year of medical school, students rotate through the surgical department during their polyclinic training. By not only observing surgeries, but also receiving practical training using simulators, students can become aware of the "interesting and profound aspects of surgery" at an early stage, which creates an opportunity for them to become more interested in surgery.

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.

Surgical equipment demo

BEAT can be used for exhibiting your company's products at academic conferences, hands-on seminars, etc. It allows you to make very effective presentations at academic conferences for demonstrations of surgical robots, surgical instruments, etc., and for marketing activities.

Warm-up before surgery

Please use it to improve the accuracy of your image training before surgery. BEAT has been improved many times to a simple design so as not to hinder the imagination of doctors. By using it to visualize the surgery the next day, you can perform more realistic training.
