Touch Surgery announces release of 3D Trabeculectomy simulation

Jul 25 2016

Touch Surgery is a mobile first platform that empowers and connects the global surgical community to make better decisions in the operating room (OR). Touch Surgery works with leading surgeons at global academic institutions (e.g. Imperial College, Harvard,  Stanford and Johns Hopkins) to cognitively map surgical procedures and combines this with a 3D virtual reality anatomical patient. Surgeons use Touch Surgery to learn, simulate and rehearse for surgery in the OR step by step. Touch Surgery also provides a testing platform enabling data measurement of competence for safe and effective surgery.

Touch Surgery today announced the release of their 3D Trabeculectomy simulation in collaboration with the Singapore National Eye Centre. The release marks a giant leap forward in Touch Surgery Technology in being the most realistic surgical simulation available. With the introduction of advanced 3D graphics, the ability to make the wrong decisions, additional interactions, and many other new features.

Touch Surgery 3D is designed to create a more true-to-life simulation experience. In fact, 93% of surgeons who tested Touch Surgery 3D stated that it provided a more realistic simulated experience of performing surgery.

With more than 1.000.000 downloads and a constant growing library of procedures, Touch Surgery plans on becoming the leading surgical learning tool across all platforms.

To use the new 3D simulation, simply open your app, refresh the library by dragging it down, and launch the "Trabeculectomy” 3D simulation on your iOS device.

Touch Surgery is available for free via any smart device on both iOS and Android platforms. The virtual surgery app was created by surgeons in an effort to increase the quality of surgical training and improve patient outcomes.
