Drawing upon advances in medical modeling and simulation over the last few years, STOPS MED has brought unprecedented realism to military and first responder training. The introduction of “Hollywood-style” special effects has enabled training scenarios to achieve such a high degree of fidelity in replicating the “fog of war” that participants “willingly suspend disbelief” that they are not in a real situation. For example, our Cut Suit (CS) with Advanced Surgical Skills Packages (ASSP) combine to create the world’s only Hyper-Realistic® Open Surgical Simulation System (OS3) such that surgeons willingly suspend disbelief that they are not working on a live human. |
