SIMULANDS was founded by a group of renowned clinicians, experienced engineers, entrepreneurs, and industry professionals in the field of Medical Devices and Structural Heart. We seek to revolutionize R&D and Education in the Structural Heart space. Simulators offer solutions that are more practical, cost-effective, and ethical versus traditional animal research practices. The 3R principles (replacement, reduction, and refinement) for more humane animal research are important guiding principles as our industry evolves. The latest technological advancements allow us to focus on what matters most – replicating procedure experiences that provide real tactile responses, and actual procedural imaging guidance with a true understanding of device performance. We believe the role of simulators should evolve from demo tools to complete educational, certification, and recertification platforms. SIMULANDS develops Human Grade platforms that are designed and validated according to all relevant ISO normative requirements. Our simulators are of clinical and technical equivalence to human cardiovascular systems and meet required benchmarks of various competent authorities, ethics committees and notified bodies (CE, FDA, MDR). We create simulators that are tailor-made, beautifully designed, simple to use and highly portable, and our joint training programs cater to a wide range of experience and knowledge levels.
