Surgical Science

Founded in 1999 in Gothenburg, Sweden, Surgical Science began with a clear mission: to improve patient safety by transforming how healthcare professionals are trained. Over the past two decades, the company has grown into a global leader in medical simulation, with offices and partners worldwide. Its solutions are now trusted by thousands of hospitals, universities, and training centers across more than 70 countries.

From the very beginning, Surgical Science has focused on building simulators that offer a highly realistic, hands-on training experience – replicating not only the look and feel of medical procedures, but also the decision-making and problem-solving challenges clinicians face in real life. The goal is to let healthcare professionals practice until they achieve confidence and competence, all without risk to patients.

A Comprehensive Portfolio of Surgical Simulation Solutions:

Surgical Science develops a broad range of simulators covering multiple specialties and training needs, including:

• Endoscopic Surgery – Platforms for laparoscopic, thoracoscopic, and other minimally invasive procedures, enabling training in skills such as suturing, dissection, and energy device use.
• Endovascular and Interventional Procedures – Simulators for catheter-based interventions, angiography, and device deployment.
• Urology – Solutions for procedures like TURP, cystoscopy, ureteroscopy, and stone management.
• Gynecology – Training for laparoscopic gynecologic surgery and hysteroscopy.
• Gastrointestinal Endoscopy – For upper and lower GI procedures, including colonoscopy, gastroscopy, and polypectomy.
• Ultrasound & Imaging – Simulators for diagnostic ultrasound, image-guided biopsy, and procedural guidance.
• Robotic Surgery – VR-based systems to help surgeons master robotic-assisted techniques in specialties like urology, gynecology, and general surgery.

Each simulator combines high-fidelity graphics, precise instrument handling, and evidence-based training scenarios. Built-in performance tracking allows for objective skill assessment, helping educators measure progress and ensure learners meet competency benchmarks before performing procedures on patients.

Innovation Through Integration:

Surgical Science has expanded its capabilities through strategic acquisitions, bringing together the expertise of several leading simulation companies under one umbrella. This has allowed the company to offer an unparalleled range of products, from portable trainers for basic skills to advanced VR platforms for full-procedure rehearsal.

A Global Impact on Patient Safety:

What started as a small Swedish company with a bold idea is now a trusted partner to medical schools, teaching hospitals, professional societies, and device manufacturers around the world. By providing realistic, data-driven simulation, Surgical Science helps reduce the learning curve for complex procedures, shorten training time, and ultimately improve outcomes in the operating room and beyond.

At the company’s core, Surgical Science believes that better-trained clinicians mean safer patients. Through innovation, collaboration, and a deep commitment to education, the company continues to shape the future of medical training, one medical simulation at a time.
