About VirtaMed
VirtaMed is a medical simulation technology company that develops advanced surgical simulators for medical education and training. Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Schlieren, Zurich, Switzerland, the company's mission is to ensure all patients experience surgical excellence by empowering surgeons and medical staff to reach proficiency through intelligent simulation integrated into medical education. VirtaMed's product portfolio includes specialized simulators for multiple surgical disciplines: ArthroS for arthroscopy (knee, shoulder, hip, ankle), RoboS for robotic surgery, LaparoS for laparoscopy, GynoS for obstetrics and gynecology procedures, and UroS for urology. These simulators utilize hyper-realistic digital twins, AI technology, and original surgical instruments to provide authentic training experiences. The company's solutions feature modular designs that allow training across disciplines while reducing costs. VirtaMed serves three primary customer segments: medtech and pharma companies requiring product training solutions, hospitals and training institutions seeking to enhance physician education, and medical societies developing proficiency-based training programs. The company's Connect platform provides cloud-based data management for tracking trainee progress and curriculum development. With offices in North America (Maitland, Florida), Switzerland, and China (Shanghai), VirtaMed maintains a global presence and boasts a Net Promoter Score exceeding 90 for its service and support operations.
