About Us

Data Driven. Patient Focused.

Surgeons tell us that they are frustrated with surgical training practices today. They expect their training experiences to be dynamic, innovative, realistic, and customizable to multiple procedure/patient specifics. Marion Surgical is working with surgeons from around the globe to build a truly next generation suite of surgical simulators.

Through virtual reality, Marion Surgical enable surgeons to learn, collaborate, practice, and share procedures in a realistic, safe, cloud-hosted environment.

“Advances in simulation technology continue to push the field of surgical education forward. Coupling immersive virtual reality (VR) simulation with a physical console allows the incorporation of haptic feedback into a virtual operating room, to more accurately simulate the technical steps of advanced surgical procedures.”
