Custom Models to Enhance Training

Skill-Sure

Skill-Sure provides anatomical models designed for structured surgical skills development, credentialing, and device training. Built with the same viscoelastic soft-tissue materials used in Lazarus 3D’s Pre-Sure® surgical rehearsal models, Skill-Sure allows medical device companies, clinicians and medical educators to demonstrate and train on procedures using real instruments with realistic tissue response.

Capabilities

Heart Model

Half-heart cut along a frontal plane. Includes the epicardium and the mitral, aortic, and tricuspid valves.

Capabilities

Lungs Model

Reusable, anatomically correct, non-biological adult lung model that can be ventilated. The lungs can display visual breaths and accommodate their cannulas, which attach to the pulmonary artery and left atrium, and have a closed loop inside the lungs to simulate fluid perfusion through the cannula.

Capabilities

Liver Model

A perfusable liver created to ensure a more consistent training experience.

Capabilities

Whipple Model

A multi-organ model for surgical training of the Whipple procedure (also known as a pancreaticoduodenectomy). This complex model can simulate hours of surgery, including all major steps of a Whipple procedure. The model includes the biliary system, relevant major arteries and veins, the liver, duodenum and an extended section of the lower intestine, stomach and pancreas.

Capabilities

Kidney Model

Multi-tumor kidney with renal artery, renal vein, ureter, collecting system, and fat. The artery, vein, and ureter will be hollow, with the artery and vein both passing through each tumor.

The Skill-Sure Advantage

Skill-Sure platforms use viscoelastic anatomical materials that mimic real tissue behavior, delivering realistic resistance, tactile feedback, and procedural realism during training.

Cut, suture, cauterize, and manipulate anatomy using the same instruments and workflows used in real procedures.

Modular platforms allow programs to build repeatable training sessions that support curriculum development, procedural standardization and objective competency assessment.

Replaceable anatomical inserts allow trainees to practice critical procedural steps repeatedly without the logistical limitations of cadaver labs.

Skill-Sure enables hospitals, residency programs, and device companies to deploy consistent surgical training platforms across locations, cohorts, and institutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Skill-Sure designed for?

Skill-Sure is primarily used by:

Medical device marketing and sales teams

Medical education teams

R&D and product development groups

Funded research initiatives

These customers typically need models that do not already exist or require a higher level of specificity than standard training products.

How is this different from your catalog models?

Catalog models are pre-designed, standardized, and lower cost.
Skill-Sure models are:

Custom-designed from the ground up

Built for a specific use case or device

Not constrained by existing product designs

If your need can’t be met by an existing model, Skill-Sure is the solution.

What kinds of problems does Skill-Sure solve?

Skill-Sure is commonly used to:

Demonstrate new technologies or products

Train physicians on new medical devices or procedures

Create realistic environments for product demonstrations

Support R&D testing and design validation

Simulate challenging or uncommon clinical scenarios

Can models be iterated or improved over time?

Yes. Many Skill-Sure engagements are iterative, allowing customers to refine anatomy, materials, or performance characteristics as their needs evolve.
