The VI Box Surgical Simulator is a compact and portable training system designed to support the development of basic and advanced vascular and surgical skills.

This innovative training platform provides a realistic surgical environment with pulsatile and continuous blood flow simulation, allowing clinicians and trainees to practise a wide range of surgical procedures. The system uses two small battery-operated pumps to supply flow to vessels and embedded tissue models designed for the simulator.

The simulator can be used with a variety of vascular conduits and embedded training models, making it a versatile platform for learning and practising surgical techniques. Its compact design allows the device to be used in surgical skills laboratories, classrooms or training workshops.

Simulation-based training systems like the VI Box allow surgeons and trainees to practise procedures repeatedly in a controlled environment, helping improve surgical precision, technique and procedural confidence before performing operations in clinical settings.

The VI Box can be purchased on its own or as part of training kits that include simulated vessels, tissue models and surgical instruments for a complete surgical training experience.
