The ease of downloading and the video quality on the iPad, iPad Air and iPad Mini continues to exceed our expectations,” said David Robison, MLIS, Red Llama VP of Product Management.
The learning objectives of the SimPraxis Trainers are: to orient the user to the roles of the surgical team; learn the relevant anatomy; learn the specific steps of the procedure; understand the required port placements; become familiar with the necessary instruments; and master the key risks of the laparoscopic hysterectomy. Users also have the opportunity to review the potential errors, injuries and complications associated with each step.
