Mentice NV Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) Cases is a specialized software module designed for the simulation-based training of clinicians in the interventional treatment of acute ischemic stroke. The software offers a realistic, image-guided environment where users can practice mechanical thrombectomy and other endovascular procedures using virtual representations of real clinical devices. It supports training on various access strategies, complication management, and the use of advanced imaging techniques. The module enables focused, repeatable practice on challenging anatomical variations and procedural scenarios, helping clinicians build proficiency and confidence away from patient care. The software is compatible with Mentice’s VIST® G7 and G7+ simulators and supports the creation of custom cases using real patient data.
