Competency based education systems are becoming more popular and odd-site hands on training in laboratory environment using simulators. This is similar to flight simulators in aviation industry and now this concept is becoming more and more popular in medical education worldwide. Developed countries have made significant progress in teaching/learning on advance simulators. Developing countries like India needs to have cost effective simulation products to bring down the cost of training and popularize laboratory based training to healthcare providers.
Realizing this need “ Elasto-Tech Industries Pvt Ltd ” was started by qualified scientists in this field in the year 2003 at Mumbai to participate in this noble cause. Innovating and manufacturing user friendly multi Speciality medical simulators to bring down the cost of training and reduce animal usage have been the mission behind this project. Verities of simulators are marketed by this company. These simulators are time tested and popular in surgical community in many parts in India. These simulators are endorsed by faculty surgeons at various Surgical skill laboratories.
