As with all simulators in the Simbionix line of medical training simulators, the LAP Mentor™ is designed to meet the training and practice needs of physicians and the evaluation and management needs of their instructors. The following features are an integral part of the simulator:

• Growing library of modules and training curricula
  The LAP Mentor training system incorporates a variety of practice opportunities, and provides a laparoscopic training curriculum made up of basic skills, tutorials of procedural tasks, and simulation of a full procedure. This cost-effective simulator design can accommodate on-going development, including the addition of new procedures and a wider variety of virtual patients and tasks.
  
  
• Realism - realistic visualization of the human anatomy that provides a life-like view of the intraabdominal cavity. One can maneuver the gallbladder, expose the cystic duct and artery, clip and cut the cystic duct and artery and separate the gallbladder from the liver with electrocauterization.
  
  
• Tactile sensations - Provides realistic surgical simulations by incorporation of tactile sensations in the use of laparoscopic instruments that imitate real-life (haptic system).

• Management mode - for organization of trainees, courses and workshops. The data collection and exporting features of this mode facilitate research work as well.

• Extensive evaluation parameters for each performance on the simulator.

• Variety of educational aids
