Just like a real posterior cervical procedure
The RealSpine Advanced Myelopathy Posterior simulator is designed to replicate the procedural flow of posterior cervical decompression and stabilization, from initial exposure to final closure.
Users can practice anatomical orientation, tissue handling, bone work, fixation techniques, and bleeding control in a controlled training environment that mirrors the sequence and complexity of real posterior cervical approaches.
One model, multiple fixation systems
The RealSpine Advanced Myelopathy Posterior simulator supports training with different posterior cervical fixation techniques using a single anatomical model.
It allows users to practice occipital fixation as well as lateral mass, pedicle, and laminar screw placement, enabling comparison of techniques, instrumentation workflows, and decision-making within the same posterior cervical anatomy.
Active bleeding management with interchangeable cartridges
The interchangeable cartridge design allows users to quickly switch between posterior cervical training scenarios, with each session starting fresh. Combined with differentiated active bleeding sources — including muscular, epidural, and vertebral artery bleeding — the system supports realistic practice of bleeding control and intraoperative decision-making during posterior decompression and stabilization procedures, without interrupting the training flow.
RealSpine Advanced Myelopathy Posterior x RealImaging
The RealSpine Advanced Myelopathy Posterior simulator is designed for use with RealImaging, a surgical navigation technology that operates without ionizing radiation.
When paired with RealImaging, the simulator supports navigation-guided workflows, enabling users to train procedural steps with real-time spatial feedback and anatomical orientation without reliance on x-ray imaging.
This combined setup can assist in developing navigation familiarity, anatomical context understanding, and procedural decision flow in posterior cervical scenarios.
