CV-1 is an affordable, high-fidelity simulator for cardiovascular angiography training that uses real clinical instruments, including catheters and guidewires, within an immersive virtual environment. The system enables physicians and trainees to practice endovascular procedures with authentic tactile interaction, bridging the gap between traditional VR simulation and real-world catheterization labs.
Built on advanced physics-based modeling, CV-1 accurately reproduces vessel anatomy, blood flow, and instrument behavior, allowing users to develop essential skills such as catheter navigation, guidewire manipulation, contrast injection, and fluoroscopic image interpretation. The use of genuine instruments ensures realistic hand–eye coordination and procedural workflow, preparing clinicians for real patient interventions.
Designed for hospitals, universities, and training centers, the platform offers a cost-effective alternative to conventional angiography simulators without compromising training quality. Modular scenarios—from basic vascular access to complex coronary and peripheral interventions—allow progressive learning tailored to different experience levels. Integrated performance analytics provide objective feedback on precision, safety, and efficiency.
CV-1 expands access to practical cardiovascular training, enabling repeated practice without radiation exposure, disposable costs, or patient risk. It supports self-paced learning and structured curricula, helping institutions deliver modern, hands-on education with minimal infrastructure requirements.
By combining real instruments with advanced virtual simulation at an accessible price, CV-1 empowers the next generation of interventional cardiologists and radiologists to train safely, effectively, and anywhere.
