In a nutshell:

Southend University Hospital has founded an innovative interventional stroke service at Anglia Ruskin University that is being supported by 3D Systems‘ ANGIO Mentor Suite simulator. According to both parties, the simulator has enabled the efficient and realistic team training necessary for effective endovascular stroke treatment, which requires the specific and precise mechanical opening of the brain artery in the affected area. The hospital found that by operating dedicated training courses in a realistic cath lab environment with the virtual reality simulator, it enhanced the clinical teams’ understanding of high-risk stroke procedures, strengthened collaboration and improved communication skills. This in turn resulted in better outcomes.
