3D App for Lifelike GI Training
Gastro Ex, a virtual sur-
gery mobile app from
Level Ex, lets GI special-
ists practice performing
endoscopies, conducting
biopsies and cauterizing
tissue, among other pro-
cedures. Inspect, inject,
grab, cut, laser and lasso — only you're doing all of the above on
a 3D gastrointestinal tract rather than an actual patient, thanks to
the same technology used in the architecture of high-def video
games. Designed specifically for practicing GI docs with an affinity
for smartphones and tablets, Gastro Ex is ideal for advancing a
doc's skill level performing endoscopic procedures, as well as for
earning CME credits.

Medical borrowed from its

ogy technology when it designed
the single-use Acrobat 2, which
the company describes as "an
everyday, go-to wire guide."
