Try Box: Laparoscopic Training Simulator For Surgeons
designed by: Felix Austin & Por Min Yi
Despite an increasing technological improvement in the area of surgery, many surgeons still rely on the most simple but effective tool to practise basic skills of laparoscopy such as suturing, hand-eye-coordination and depth perception. Although such tools are widely available, there is a need for an upgrade to meet the expectations of a newer breed of surgeons who grew up with computer games. Try Box is an intermediate version of a laparoscopic training simulator that incorporates multi-port insertion, coordination training with a partner and a realistic experience, yet portable and low in cost.
