Training the Hands of Surgeons You Can Trust

“With advancing technology, we can’t do the same thing the same way forever.”

Who We Are

Urogynecology fellow training on SurgicalEd VR device

SurgicalEd VR is redefining surgical training through virtual reality and haptic technology. Our platform gives surgeons the ability to practice high-risk, complex procedures in a safe, immersive environment—no cadavers, no

patients, just real-world skills developed with confidence.

More than a practice tool, it provides objective skill assessment and supports credentialing, privileging, and certification, ensuring surgeons are prepared for the operating room.

SurgicalEd VR hardware

We partner with hospitals, training institutions, and Medtech companies to bring the future of education to today’s operating room. With real anatomy, the true feel of surgery in hand, and the ability to test decisions without risk to patients, our VR and haptic technology empowers autonomous high-level learning.

The OR is not a place to learn all skills. It should remain sacred so that faculty expertise and patient lives are prioritized.​

Testimonials

Just in time Practice

“I would like to use SurgicalEd VR as an adjunct before the first few cases. The rep comes out, but you are scrubbed in and just hoping the “pops” go well.  This in the pre-op area

would be amazing!”​

Consistent Experience

“As an active learner, in order to  gain new skills,  it is imperative that simulation is

involved. The mobile cadaver lab was a great experience to be able to learn new skills

on human tissue and how to adjust the angles, as I am a primarily retropubic sling

provider learning single incision slings. One big downside, as with any cadaver lab, if

you are the second or third or further participant, the tissue feedback was decreased or

absent. The trajectory and pathways had already been created therefore was not

mimicking “real life”.”​

On demand Training

"Trying to plan a training within 2 weeks of a scheduled case is nearly impossible​"
