CATHI (Germany-based leading endovascular simulator supplier ) has joined forces with UK-based Vascular Simulation Solutions (VSS) to offer the world’s first on-line training masterclass using endovascular simulation coupled to a structured curriculum.
At its heart is the state-of-the-art CATHIS® simulator, which is fully functional with all standard software systems including every iOS system and Oculus VR (virtual reality).
The training is supported by a structured curriculum, delivered by specialist endovascular instructors with many years‘ clinical experience.

“The importance of periodical continuous education, training and structured curricula of interventional procedures has been confirmed by numerous clinical experts around the globe“, said CATHI Managing Director Marketing & Sales Manuela Werner. “With this joint venture between VSS and our company we are combining top level expertise with our near to reality simulation systems. We are very pleased to be cooperating with the very experienced vascular and endovascular surgeon Dr. Abdullah Jibawi.“
