Overview of Lazarus 3D:

Surgeon skill and experience are the biggest determinants of patient outcomes. Unfortunately, surgeons learn hands-on skills by operating on patients, and sometimes they make costly mistakes. Lazarus 3D’s Pre-Sure platform allows surgeons to rehearse every surgery ahead of time on a replica of their patient, created in hyper-realistic materials. This technology has the potential to transform patient safety and outcomes. Lazarus 3D’s Skill-Sure platform delivers world-class surgical training solutions to healthcare professionals, reducing the learning curve, aiding the development of innovative solutions, and is used by medical device companies for training, demonstration, and marketing. Pre-Sure and Skill-Sure models mimic the soft, realistic textures of real organs and provide a unique hands-on operative experience.
