New Simulation Training Model Available from ThinkRadial

Published on:

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH–November 5, 2015–Merit Medical Systems, Inc. and its renowned ThinkRadial™ education program, now offers a new, one-of-a-kind vascular training model at events throughout the world.  The model is an example of Merit’s continued commitment to provide in-demand, extensive radial training to further the advancement of physicians and their fields of medicine.

The custom-designed ThinkRadial Vascular Training Model  gives cardiologists and radiologists the opportunity to introduce guide wires, diagnostic catheters, guide catheters and interventional devices into the vascular system from several access points – left and right radial, left and right ulnar, as well as femoral. 

The ThinkRadial Vascular Training Model provides realistic simulation to several procedurally critical vascular destinations, while allowing the practitioner to “see” the way radial products perform inside the body.  If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this kind of interface is worth a thousand pictures.  This model provides physicians with an opportunity to have hands-on radial practice and test various radial devices. 

The ThinkRadial Vascular Training Model is one of several training tools included in the Simulations Module of the ThinkRadial Training Course, an immersive two-day experience with hands-on cadaver training, didactic presentations and live taped cases proctored by two renowned proctors, Dr. Sandeep Nathan, an Interventional Cardiologist from the University of Chicago, IL and Dr. Darren Klass, an Interventional Radiologist working at Vancouver General and UBC Hospitals in Vancouver, Canada.
