Objective of the technology or device
To develop and validate a high fidelity and cost-effective advanced laparoscopic training box for surgical simulation training using the latest technology available.
Description of the technology and method of its use or application
A laparoscopic training box with high definition camera was created under the necessity to simulate a laparoscopic surgery nowadays. This box was constructed of high-density fiberglass and shaped in as an insufflated abdomen,
OBJECTIVE The progression towards milestones-based medical education has highlighted the need for validated assessments of real-time performance of technical skills. Recent studies have provided evidence in support of the use of motion analysis in laparoscopic surgical skills assessment. Unfortunately, high-fidelity motion analysis is typically cost prohibitive, thereby limiting broad accessibility, use in training and research implications. In the current abstract we present a wearable portable
1. Objective of the technology:
Touch Surgery is a free mobile platform that allows surgical trainees to simulate and rehearse surgical procedures on smartphones and tablets. This allows for unrestricted access to simulate over 50 surgical procedures. Touch Surgery has also been a tool that allows attendings to share their method of a procedure. Nursing staff and patients have used this tool to better understand a procedure.

Objective of the technology
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty entails gastric volume reduction via placement of full-thickness plications. This procedure potentially offers a reversible and minimally invasive option for the treatment of obesity. The objective of this study was to evaluate safety, technical feasibility, and patient outcomes after endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty.
Technology and methods
The series included four centers. Patients underwent gastroplasty using the Apollo OverStitch a
Description of Technology: The sufentanil sublingual tablet system (Zalviso™) is a non-invasive, patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) drug/device product currently under review by the U.S. FDA and European Medicines Agency for treatment of moderate to severe acute pain in a hospital setting. A second sublingual sufentanil product (30mcg tablet), dispensed using a single-dose applicator, is also in development for treatment of acute pain in a medically-supervised setting, such as Ambulatory Surger
