Over a Decade of Designing Realistic Simulators for Research

Anatomical fidelity is essential for scientific research

At Realists, we have been developing high-precision surgical simulators for over 10 years, providing researchers with a reliable and repeatable platform for their studies. Our models ensure that experiments can be replicated under consistent conditions, minimizing variability and external influences.

Standardized testing environments for accurate data collection.
Eliminate experimental bias with anatomically precise models.
Replicate trials without environmental variations.

Unmatched Anatomical Precision: Simulations That Reflect Reality

Our models, such as RealSpine, offer highly detailed anatomical structures, including tissues, fluids, and accurate bone landmarks. Scientific validation confirms their realism, ensuring that every study is based on reliable and reproducible conditions.

Highly realistic representation of ligaments, nerves, and bone structures.
Seamless integration with advanced technologies such as surgical navigation.

Trusted by Researchers Worldwide

Leading institutions, hospitals, and MedTech companies rely on our solutions for developing and testing medical devices. From technology validation to surgical training, our simulators are the preferred choice for experts.

For MedTech Companies: The Ideal Platform for New Product Development

If you develop technologies for minimally invasive surgery, you need testing environments that replicate real-life scenarios. With Realists, you can validate and demonstrate your products in a controlled and highly realistic setting.

Optimize preclinical testing with high-fidelity simulators.
Reduce costs in demonstrations and customer training.

"The models we worked with closely resembled reality. We experienced the feel of bones, the sensation of a herniated disc, and the process of drilling it away—everything felt very close to real life."

Bashar DawoudResident Physician, Neurosurgery, Helios Klinikum Erfurt, Germany

"We’ve used cadavers, and also RealSpine, which I find extremely accurate and really good, probably much better than cadavers. It is a great experience, and we learned a lot. This is certainly going to change our practice in the future."

Dr. Marco GermannSpine Surgeon Lausanne University Hospital, Switzerland

"My impression is that the anatomy is very accurate. We had a physiologic tissue handling, and the bleeding simulation is excellent. The RealSpine model allows you to repeat steps several times—first you struggle, second you improve a bit, and by the third time, you are almost or completely independent."

PD Dr. Martin SteinenSenior Physician, Clinic for Neurosurgery Kantonsspital St. Gallen, Switzerland

Scientific Evidence: RealSpine and the Enhancement of Surgical Competencies

The impact of RealSpine on surgical training is backed by scientific publications validating its effectiveness in improving surgeons’ skills and competencies. These studies highlight how our hyperrealistic simulator transforms learning, shortens training curves, and refines surgical techniques.

We invite you to explore these articles and discover how RealSpine is revolutionizing surgical education. If you have ideas or research projects, we would love to collaborate with you to further advance knowledge in this field.
