The trouble with today’s standards for medical device implementation

Biomedical device companies in the United States collectively spend $6.8 billion annually on surgical training to prevent adverse effects from improper implantation of medical devices. And still, more than 400,000 readmission cases are expected in 2019 because of improper device, implant or graft placement errors¹. Multiple studies show these surgical errors are not the result of “bad” surgeons, but the inadequate tools to train for the successful implantation of medical devices.^2,3

Solving an industry-wide problem

Sourcing materials to teach surgical procedures has become more challenging. With the availability of new material technologies and fabrication methods our company was inspired to address this problem by providing a better way to simulate surgery. 

SiMMo3D has developed a breakthrough surgical simulator that makes it easier to train surgeons how to use new biomedical devices. Our product is not only easy to use, but provides the hands-on tactile training necessary for surgeons to simulate real-life surgery environments. 

Experience brought us here

Through our combined years of experience in advanced additive manufacturing and business experience, we founded SiMM03D to provide tactical and accessible solutions for surgical training environments. Our leadership team works tirelessly to create viable ways to provide advanced solutions to healthcare professionals all across the nation.

Fostering support for innovation in the surgery room

We believe that the future of surgical innovation stems from the physicians. These are real-world heroes who work endless hours to hone their craft and save lives. We want to help foster the growth of training opportunities for physicians, especially surgeons, by creating a safe environment to learn new procedures and experience cutting-edge technologies.
