The PERC Mentor™ library of modules currently contains 3 PCN modules for percutaneous renal access:

• Module for PCN basic tasks
• Module with PCN procedures on normal patients
• Module with PCN procedures on obese patients

These 3 modules feature:

• The practice of renal access for both urology and radiology specialists
• Opportunities to learn skills for avoiding the puncture of internal organs
• Real-time fluoroscopic image processing during procedures
• Visualization of renal access needles in multiple planes
• The use of actual needles and tools
• Access with tactile sensations while moving through the various layers
• Actual ribs that you can feel and may be hit during the puncture
• Variety of patients with anatomical variations, different clinical scenarios and multiple parameters that impinge upon surgical success
• Opportunities to create the ideal access to the proper calyx through a variety of access sites

Future developments:

Our R&D departments in close collaboration with physicians around the world are currently developing additional case modules. These include:
PTC Module - Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography
Angio Module - Angiographic procedures
