VirtaMed · Mentice — Western Balkans and South-East Europe
We bring you the platforms on which Europe's leading university hospitals train their residents — and we stay with you from the first needs analysis to a certified curriculum.
Our criterion
A simulator is not furniture for the skills lab. It is a measuring instrument. Every movement your resident makes is recorded; every level of competence is demonstrated. That is why we work with only two manufacturers — the two whose platforms professional bodies such as AANA, AGA, ESSKA and Swiss Orthopaedics have written into binding examination rules.
VirtaMed
Open and minimally invasive surgery with real instruments and real resistance. Arthroscopy, gynaecology, urology, laparoscopy and robotic surgery — five platforms on one shared model of competence.
Mentice
[ VIST G7 IN THE CATH LAB ]
Image-guided endovascular intervention. From thrombectomy training to rehearsing tomorrow's procedure on this patient's own anatomy — directly on the Philips or Siemens Healthineers angiography system you already own.
Three ways in
A university hospital needs a curriculum. A manufacturer needs device adoption. A resident needs time on the machine.
01
Universities and hospitals
Building the simulation centre, tying it to the specialty training, objective examination formats instead of attendance sheets.
02
Physicians and residents
Courses, examination preparation and access to devices that are occupied during operating hours in your own hospital.
03
Medical industry
Device introduction, user training and flow systems for development and imaging optimisation.
Evidence
Every claim about an outcome on this site is tied to a publication, a professional body or a validation study. What we cannot prove, we do not write.

Consulting
We are a distributor — and we still advise independently. If the numbers do not add up, you will hear it from us before you order.
Assessment
Need, case volume and selection — assessed independently, before a tender is drafted.
Implementation
Building the centre, integrating it into the curriculum, commissioning and handover.
Knowledge
Train-the-trainer, course design and alignment with existing certification pathways.
Return
The business case, funding and payback period — in figures, not in promises.
We bring the platform to your hospital — with the mobile unit, on a day that suits you, with your own residents holding the instruments.
