What we believe

Surgery is a craft. It has to be learned like one.

  1. Learned with the hands

    Like every craft, surgery is learned through repetition: the same step, again and again, long before it counts on a patient.

  2. Training for everyone

    Not only for programmes with large budgets. Free step-by-step guides, public prices and models for every level, from resident to expert.

  3. Training is the better investment

    Money spent on training is better spent than money spent on treating poor outcomes. For patients, for surgeons and for society, good training is the most sustainable care there is.

From the founder

“I started my first company in 2012, and in 2014 we built our first artificial eyes ourselves. Today we make models whose complexity is hard to match. The idea has not changed: training should be available to everyone.”
