Neurovascular Coiling by Mentice is a simulation software module designed to train clinicians in the technical, procedural, and cognitive skills required for cerebral aneurysm coiling. The module offers a realistic, hands-on environment for practicing the treatment of aneurysms of various sizes, shapes, and locations, including the use of balloon- and stent-assisted coiling strategies. Users can import patient-specific CT data to create custom training cases, allowing for procedural planning and rehearsal based on real clinical scenarios. The software supports the acquisition of psychomotor skills, patient assessment, and procedural decision-making, with instructor review capabilities to optimize training outcomes. Integrated with the VIST® G7 and G7+ simulation platforms, the module provides high-fidelity haptic feedback and image-guided procedural training. This enables clinicians to safely access and navigate the cerebral vasculature, deploy devices, and manage complications in a risk-free environment, enhancing both individual and team proficiency in neurovascular interventions.
