SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Immersion Corporation (NASDAQ:IMMR), the leading developer and licensor of touch feedback technology, announces the availability of new carotid intervention training modules for its CathLabVR surgical simulator. The new modules provide multi-modal (sight, sound and touch) virtual reality training for carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS), a minimally invasive procedure performed to help prevent strokes. Strokes are the third leading cause of death in the United States. Powered by Immersion’s programmable high-fidelity haptic feedback, the modules provide lifelike simulation of an actual CAS procedure outside the operating room where doctors can practice and perfect their skills at this sophisticated technique prior to performing it on a live patient.
