Before you invest,
we run the numbers.

We are vendors. That is precisely why we say in advance on which questions our opinion carries weight — and on which it does not.

Let us be direct

A vendor
who advises independently —
sounds like a contradiction.

Correctly so. We represent two manufacturers, not the whole market. Where their devices are not the right answer, we say so — but we cannot offer you a competitor's product.

That is why we draw a clear line: the needs assessment we carry out independently and in writing, including when the conclusion is “not now”. The proposal is a separate document and comes after. Anyone who conflates the two is selling, not advising.

Four fields

From the first question
to the second year of operation.

01

Assessment

BEFORE ANY ORDER IS PLACED

Before we write a proposal, we verify whether what you are asking for is what you actually need.

  • Case volume by specialty — and how many of those actually pass through a trainee.
  • Training positions and the hours remaining for simulation after on-call duties.
  • What you already own and whether it can be developed rather than replaced.
  • Whether the volume justifies an in-house device, or whether access to an external centre is more practical.

The result is a written position with a recommendation — including when that recommendation is “not now”.

02

Implementation

FROM DELIVERY TO THE FIRST COURSE

A device that sits in the corner is not an investment, it is an expense. That is why we stay until the first group has already worked through it.

  • Room, power supply and network connection — confirmed before delivery.
  • Installation, commissioning and signed acceptance.
  • Integration of the device into the training curriculum, not alongside it.
  • First course delivered by your instructor — not by our salesperson.

03

Knowledge

TRAIN THE TRAINER

The goal is for your centre to run without us. If after one year you are still dependent on the supplier, the training has not worked.

  • Train the trainer — your people deliver the courses.
  • Building courses by competency level, not by hours of attendance.
  • Links to existing certification pathways — AGA, ESSKA, FLS, GESEA.
  • Working with VirtaMed Connect: how to read learning curves and what they mean.

04

Return on investment

IN NUMBERS, NOT IN PROMISES

The calculation is run against your actual costs — not against average figures from a brochure.

  • Operating time, consumables and animal models that are eliminated.
  • Break-even period at a realistic, not an optimistic, utilisation rate.
  • Funding sources and programmes for which you may qualify.
  • And the reverse calculation: what happens if the device is used at half the planned rate.

Four possible answers

Not every conversation
ends with a proposal.

If the only possible outcome of a conversation is an order, that is not consulting. Here are the four answers that are genuinely given and received.

А

"Not yet."

With a low case volume the device will stand idle. Better to wait or use an external centre.

Б

"Not this device."

When your specialty is better served by a platform we do not represent — we say so.

В

"First, a course."

Send two people on a course. If they want the device afterwards, then you need it.

Г

"Yes — and here are the numbers."

When it works out, you receive the figures with which to go before the committee.

How it works

Five steps, in two of which
we have the right to talk you out of it.

01

Need

Case volume, training positions, existing equipment.

02

Selection

Platform and modules — assessed independently, and against us.

03

Build

Room, installation, network, acceptance.

04

Curriculum

Courses, train-the-trainer, certification.

05

Operations

Reporting, top-up training, module expansion.

Start with the assessment,
not the proposal.

The first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
