About SurgiSTUD
SurgiSTUD offers an alternative to cadavers for surgical training. They manufacture 3D printed surgical training and utility device models with high biomechanically fidelity that offers real life haptic feel AND significant cost savings over cadaveric options. Their models are completely customizable, as they can utilize patient-specific CT scans to replicate anatomy/pathology or existing deformities.
Their models provide deliberate, simulated training, and their bones have been biomechanically tested to have the same fidelity and haptic feel of real bones. The models also eliminate many cultural concerns in regard to cadaver utilization, and are available worldwide.
