The PERC Mentor
platform includes a stylized mannequin that represents the virtual
patient's torso approached from the back. An interchangeable cartridge
fitted with life-like layers of epidermis and underlying tissues
provide the physical system for percutaneous puncturing. Cartridges
are changed to enable practice on normal or obese patients as well
as to enable access to the right or left side.

This cost effective design is a simple and
convenient means to achieve the goal of a simulator that can accommodate
ongoing development and addition of new procedures and a wider variety
of virtual patients.
The ability to purchase a combined platform
that comprises the
URO Mentor and the PERC Mentor
simulators in one unit provides an additional savings in costs.
