da Vinci Surgical System - SOLD OUT

This course provides the technical skills necessary to safely assist surgeons during robotic procedures using the Intuitive Surgical da Vinci Robot. This course is designed to provide first assistants with practical experience in both multi-port and single-site robotic concepts for the safe application in the operating room. This program only focuses on platform training in a dry lab setting. 

Course participants will engage in:

• Detailed overview of instrumentation and equipment
• Robotic platform setup
• Sterile draping for robotic platform
• Docking and undocking
• Port placement (multi-port and single site)
• Instrument insertion and removal (multi-port and single site)
• Troubleshooting scenarios
• Communication protocols
