VOS
VIRTUAL OTOSCOPY SYSTEM
  • The system renders high-quality realistic images of tympanic membrane with all the cues and features required to train practical otoscopy skills
  • The simulator has a robust shock-proof body
  • Life-like exchangeable ear models with magnetic fixation fully mimic a real-life procedure: high-quality silicone form a realistically curved external auditory canal that occludes the view unless the auricle is pulled back
  • Both left and right ear otoscopy is supported with automatic model recognition and respective image mirroring
  • Thanks to backlight no additional light source is required
  • High tympanic membrane image resolution allows a trainee to use various viewing equipment: ear funnels, otoscopes, magnifying glasses, pneumatic Zigle funnels, operating microscopes, endoscopes and video-endoscopes
  • VOS simulation system can be used to teach students, train family doctors, ENT-specialists
VIRTUAL OTOSCOPY SIMULATOR

More than 30 exercises on common ear pathologies:
  • Otitis media
  • Chronic otitis media
  • Adhesive otitis media
  • Tuba auditiva dysfunction
  • Different types of external otitis
  • External ear canal foreign body
  • Cerumen block

A library of practical skill-based exercises includes cases on:
  • External ean canal cleaning
  • Tympamnotomy (paracentesis)
  • Tympanostomy tube placement
  • Removal of a foreign body from the external ear canal (using emulated-forceps or ear hook)
  • External ear canal irrigation and Politzerization and pneumatic tests
  • Animated imagery rendering for dynamic processes representation:
- liquid movement for exudative otitis media
- tympanic membrane movement during blowing out the auditory tubes

  • Supports automatic performance evaluation unlike other systems
  • Advance otoscopic database and simple administration system
  • Special evaluation and assessment modes provide a way to control knowledge and skill training progress
  • Embedded touchscreen and innovative haptic device allow to conduct both regular tests and practical skill-based exercises
