Mentice supports British Cardiovascular Society Training Area at the annual Conference 2012. #bcs2012

"Simulators will soon be part of revalidation and training for all of us. This year we have more simulators and a greater variety. We will have some mannequins for you to refine your surgical skills too! Sign up, attend and we will give you a certificate of attendance for your portfolio." Read more on the BCS website.

The Mentice VIST-Lab is present in the training area at this annual conference and will for instance show the Coronary Pro and Transeptual Puncture modules. Also check out the simulation setups at Cordis and Terumo which are powered by Mentice simulators.

Mentice Coronary PRO is the professional, advanced training module for Coronary Angiography and Intervention. Coronary PRO enhances hands-on training of technical skills for both the novice and more experienced invasive cardiologists. Coronary PRO actively reproduces the challenges faced in complex coronary interventions - from deciding on the intervention strategy to managing complications based on patient specific data and treatment options.

Mentice Transseptal Puncture Training Module is designed for interventionalists to learn the skills essential to safely perform the procedure. Transseptal puncture of the fossa ovalis was introduced nearly 50 years ago and is still considered a challenging procedure. The procedure serves as a gateway for many emerging technologies and therapies to include left atrial ablation, percutaneous valve replacement and repairs, left atrial appendage devices and ventricular assist devices.
