Touch Surgery - Surgical simulations & training

Prepare for surgical cases or learn new procedures & test your knowledge with Touch Surgery anytime, anywhere.

Our multi-award-winning surgical training platform for doctors and surgeons has been researched by world-leading institutions and published in peer-reviewed journals.

Touch Surgery is integrated into over 100 residency programs in the US and is endorsed by the AO foundation, American Association for Surgery of the Hand (AASH), British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS), and The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.

The app does not pretend to teach skills – all one really does is drag a finger across the screen (Figure 1) to initiate a video clip of the next step of the procedure (Figure 2). However, the interactivity is immersive and the feeling of performing the procedure is visually as authentic as it can get on-screen.

Figure1: Screenshots of steps while ‘performing’ an appendicectomy. The ‘surgeon’ would proceed by dragging the green circle on the screen to the pink one.

Figure 2: This would initiate a video clip of the appendix being transacted by the scalpel, and further on-screen instructions would follow.

WHY DOWNLOAD:

This innovative app provides a user-friendly platform that helps medical professionals from all backgrounds train effectively for procedures. The 3D simulations and surgical content have been developed in collaboration with leading surgeons and academic institutions worldwide to ensure the utmost accuracy and validity. The platform is the largest and fastest-growing community of surgeons learning and rehearsing operations digitally.

The interactive simulations and virtual patients teach specific techniques for all phases of medical and surgical procedures. This practical approach helps improve engagement for a deeper level of understanding and has been proven to yield better results than more traditional methods.

Physicians, nurses, and healthcare professionals can train and test their knowledge of surgery with clear and informative content at every step of a procedure. They can master specific exercises or freshen up on their skills before an operation.

With the largest database of over 150+ simulations across multiple surgical specialties, including Orthopedics, Ophthalmology, Plastic, Neurosurgery, Oral, Vascular, and many more, this mobile app is the most comprehensive tool for medical professionals.
