Osso VR, a validated virtual reality (VR) surgical training platform, is partnering with Sawbones, the originator of “hands-on” orthopedic and medical workshop models worldwide. Together, they’re digitizing Sawbones’ traditional bone models to expand and diversify the products’ application, enabling the models to be used repeatedly and without barriers in the virtual environment.
Sawbones’ orthopedic bones are designed to be cut, drilled, tapped, or gouged with standard hand or powered instruments, and can be used for different exercises. The ability to mold and mass-produce specific pathologies makes them ideal for large-scale surgical skills courses.
Osso VR’s scientifically validated training platform is designed for surgeons, sales teams, and other trainees to address complexities in learning common procedures and how to use new medical devices by providing realistic, haptic-enhanced interactions in an immersive training environment. In addition, Osso VR’s technology offers objective assessment of technical skill by providing a robust analytics platform.
