The Centre for minimally invasive surgery, JUMISC, is an institution dedicated to teaching and research in minimally invasive techniques. The result of these activities are devices that have been developed in this Centre, the supervisors who design and validate being professionals in surgery themselves.

Some of the devices developed in our centre are:

• Boards for laparoscopic management exercises, to synchronise the movements of both hands.
• Strips for training in laparoscopic cutting and suturing, with support to prevent unwanted movements.
• Physical laparoscopic simulators, SIMULAP IC05 being our latest development.
• Collaboration in the design, development and validation of a virtual laparoscopic simulator, integrated into the thematic network synergies.
• Articulated arm support for the laparoscopic camera and other instruments.
• Microsurgical exercises and strips for their support.
• Support for training in ophthalmology.
• Simulator basic training in microsurgery oral and maxillofacial dentistry.

JUMISC’s collaboration with many multinationals operating in the health sector is very close, compounded by the fact that that many surgical devices prototypes are tested and validated annually within our facilities.

As with the rest of the activities carried out by this institution, in testing equipment and surgical material, we are committed to quality assurance, and customer needs, adhering to the necessary confidentiality.
