MedaPhor is pleased to announce that is has opened a US subsidiary, MedaPhor North America, Inc.

MedaPhor, the global provider of advanced ultrasound education and training for medical professionals, is pleased to announce that is has opened a US subsidiary, MedaPhor North America, Inc. and expanded its US sales team, to sell its ScanTrainer range of ultrasound simulators in the US and Canada

The company doubled sales for the third consecutive year and now has over 100 systems installed in major hospitals in 11 countries around the world. Its lead product, ScanTrainer, is a virtual reality based ‘real feel’ ultrasound-training simulator that enables trainees, of any level, to literally feel what they see on the computer screen in order to develop the complex mix of cognitive skills and eye-hand movement coordination required to learn all the key ultrasound scanning skills. 

The simulator uses real patient scans, within an educationally driven training programme, to teach all the core and advanced skills, but without the need for an ultrasound machine or a patient and with considerably reduced direct supervision by an expert. 

MedaPhor, which spun out of Cardiff University, recently expanded its ScanTrainer range with its new transabdominal simulator, aimed at the large obstetrics and gynecology, general medical, and emergency medicine markets. The new general medical upper abdomen training simulator is the company’s first training module aimed at the large radiology market and was launched at IMSH, the International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare, in San Francisco in January. 

Stuart Gall, CEO of MedaPhor and President of MedaPhor North America, Inc. said: 

“This has been an exceptional year for the company and the establishment of MedaPhor North America, Inc., is a major milestone for us. We have a superb team in the US and expect to dramatically increase sales in 2014, as we expand both our US coverage and the range of ScanTrainer training simulators.”
