NewsRX.com: Chamberlain Group Announces Two New Robotic Surgery Training Devices for Client Intuitive Surgical’s da Vinci System
The Chamberlain Group, producers of anatomically accurate surgical trainers, announced two new robotic surgery training devices: a comprehensive Uterine Robotic Surgery Trainer and the next generation of its Robotic System Skills Kit, a modular tool for practicing basic skills in robotic surgery.
According to Lisa Chamberlain, The Chamberlain Group’s co-founder, the Uterine Trainer is a lifelike, full-scale model of the human uterus and vaginal canal. It is composed of Chamberlain’s proprietary polymer that looks and feels like living tissue, has appropriate elasticity and can be cut and sutured.
Physicians using the new Uterine Trainer may practice robotic skills used in myomectomy (removal of uterine fibroid tumors), hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) and sacrocolpopexy (correcting vaginal vault prolapse). Ms. Chamberlain pointed out that following a practice myomectomy using the trainer, the physician may perform a colpotomy (separating the uterus from the vagina) which is a skill performed during a hysterectomy. The remaining vaginal canal may then be affixed to mesh and a sacrocolpopexy performed by attaching the mesh to the available sacral tissue.
The Uterine Trainer has a replaceable uterus which permits unlimited practice. Ms. Chamberlain noted that while the trainer is primarily designed for robotic skill training, it may also be utilized for any abdominal approach training including laparoscopy.
Trainers Developed for Intuitive Surgical’s da Vinci® Surgical System
According to Ms. Chamberlain, both the Uterine Trainer and the Robotic System Skills Kit were developed in direct response to the company’s client, Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (Nasdaq:ISRG), a recognized pioneer and leader in robotic surgery, for training on their da Vinci® Surgical System. Industry analysts estimate that over 1,000 da Vinci Systems will be installed in hospitals worldwide by the end of 2008 and that demand is expected to increase.
In robotic surgery physicians use computer-assisted surgical instrumentation yielding greater precision, dexterity and control, the sum of which enables enhanced patient safety, reduced blood loss, less post-operative pain and discomfort, less risk of infection, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery and less scarring . da Vinci® Prostatectomy is the #1 choice for treatment of localized prostate cancer* in the United States and medical experts predict that it will soon become the standard of care for hysterectomy. Growth of hysterectomy procedures using the da Vinci® Surgical System is forecast at 150% per year.
Intuitive Surgical’s da Vinci® Surgical System provides surgeons with the ability to control instruments with the damping of natural tremors in the surgeon’s hand, the ability to safely manipulate very delicate tissues and a three-dimensional, magnified view of the surgical field all through minimally invasive ports in the body.
Intuitive Surgical’s da Vinci Surgical Systems are used by many physicians within urology, gynecology, cardiothoracic surgery, and general surgery . Medical analysts estimate that approximately 600,000 hysterectomies are performed annually in the US alone.
Robotic System Skills Kit Trains On Surgical Skills
The Robotic System Skills Kit is comprised of four different components, each designed to help surgeons practice a specific skill utilizing the da Vinci Surgical System.
The Chamberlain kit includes a Manipulation Skills Set, designed to practice dexterity in handling robotic surgical instruments and manipulating small structures; a Dissection Skills Pod to practice skills by moving through superficial tissue layers to expose deeper vessels; a Suturing Skills Pod designed to practice skills by closure of linear defects; and a Transection Skills Model that enhances skills by carefully cutting within very narrow, defined boundaries.
Chamberlain’s Broad Range of Surgical and Procedure Models
The Chamberlain Group designs and builds models for a broad range of surgical and interventional procedures including cardiothoracic, general and gastrointestinal, reproductive and urological and vascular applications. In addition to Intuitive, Chamberlain provides custom surgical and training models to over 150 medical device manufacturers and hospitals and offers over 500 products it has created and markets.
Ms. Chamberlain pointed out there is a growing demand for better training methods across all types of surgical and interventional procedures and that major hospitals are building surgical simulation laboratories. Highly accurate, mimetic tissue anatomical trainers provide a more realistic and cost-effective alternative to traditional training in the operating room, with animals, or with cadavers, thus reducing patient risk and health care costs.
In addition to training surgeons on robotic skills, the materials are also used to train novice resident surgeons learning basic skills.

Mass High Tech – The Journal of New England Technology: Chamberlain Group and Baystate Medical Land Organ Grant
Friday, October 31, 2008
By Bridget Botelho, Special to Mass High Tech
Realistic-looking human tissue is in demand this time of year, not only to stage gruesome scenes at haunted houses but for a more practical reason; to give medical students and residents something to practice on.
Great Barrington-based The Chamberlain Group designs and manufactures artificial body parts that replicate the feel, structure, physiology and response to a surgeon’s scalpel blade of human body tissue, complete with accompanying body fluids.
The Chamberlain Group is integrating their realistic anatomical models into a new surgical training project, called the Tactility Learning System, designed in partnership with Springfield-based Baystate Medical Center. The system includes an anatomical model — in this first case, a bowel — along with a curriculum written by Baystate, surgical instruments and other learning resources that will be used by medical students and residents for surgical practice.
In support of this training project, the John Adams Innovation Institute presented a $150,000 grant to Baystate Medical Center and The Chamberlain Group this week.
“The Tactility (Learning System) is the first in what we hope will be a series brought to market for repeatable, affordable surgical training at the residency level,” said Chamberlain Group co-founder and principal Lisa Chamberlain. “This level of training will soon become part of the mainstream medical community.”
The Chamberlain Group’s founders got their start in 1982 creating special effects for movies at R/Greenberg Associates in New York, creating things like space ships and doing technical effects, but had never created body parts, Chamberlain said. Their resume includes Superman, Predator I and II, Tootsie, Ghostbusters, The Matrix and many other films.
Eventually, when computerized special effects started squeezing them out of that industry, they were asked to try creating realistic medical models.
“We became known for our modeling, so we were approached by someone in the medical device field, but we had no medical background, so we had to learn all about human anatomy and surgical training,” Chamberlain said.
The challenge to come up with life-like anatomical models was all theirs, since no one else was doing it, Chamberlain said.
Since then, The Chamberlain Group has developed its own proprietary materials for creating life-like models and has patented its beating heart, which is used by surgeons to practice suturing and bypass surgery. The firm offers about 500 medical models, ranging in price from $10 to $7,500, and sells them to medical device companies, medical schools and training hospitals in nearly every state and in 40 countries.
Chamberlain said the business is growing quickly because of problems with the traditional training tools — cadavers, animals, or live people.
“There are problems with using cadavers and animals — they are perishable, they are expensive, they require a tremendous amount of clean up and are unappealing for lots of obvious reasons. Also, they can’t be used again and again,” Chamberlain said.
“We are constantly being contacted by labs across the country, asking us what we offer. There is a market for this, because we as patients want to make sure the surgeon who works on us has the fullest range of experience they can possibly have.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BAYSTATE MEDICAL CENTER AND THE CHAMBERLAIN GROUP
RECEIVE STATE GRANT TO DEVELOP SURGICAL TRAINING KIT
John Adams Innovation Institute awards $150k for artificial-tissue project
Springfield, MA (October 28, 2008) – The John Adams Innovation Institute today announced a $150,000 grant to Baystate Medical Center and The Chamberlain Group to support development of a new surgical training system, bolstering the nationally recognized hospital’s position as a leader in medical simulation training. Combining proven simulation training techniques with the use of non-biological replicas of human organs, the project will establish a new standard in surgical simulation training, equipping young surgeons with a level and sophistication of skill previously unattainable.
The project, the Tactility Learning System, is a collaboration comprising medical leaders and surgical experts from Baystate Medical Center and The Chamberlain Group, a western Massachusetts-based company that produces anatomically correct, tissue-responsive medical models. The effort will leverage state-of-the-art simulation technology to open up new market opportunities in the biotech field, while at the same time helping to keep rising healthcare costs in check by helping surgeons operate at a higher skill level–and thus reducing the rate of costly medical errors.
“For a very long time, the standard model of surgical training has been ‘watch one, do one, teach one.’ This system is so realistic that that model is going to change,” said Richard B. Wait, MD, PhD., Chairman of Surgery at Baystate Health. “Now it’s going to be ‘watch one—then practice a dozen—then do one and teach one.’ We’re going to have young surgeons coming to their first procedure better trained and more capable than ever before.”
“In addition to improving health outcomes for the citizens of Massachusetts, Baystate Medical Center is once again demonstrating that robust innovation activity and top medical science and expertise is thriving across the Commonwealth,” said State Sen. Stephen J. Buoniconti, D-Springfield, a longtime supporter of the hospital in its role as an academic and economic center for western Massachusetts.
“To think the first time I visited the Chamberlain Group in Great Barrington I thought I was in a Hollywood Special Effects Studio, but I soon learned that they are on the cutting edge of the most innovative medical technology training, not only in the state but in the country,” said State Rep. William “Smitty” Pignatelli, D-Lenox, a member of the Committee on Higher Education. “Collaborations like these with our fine institutions of higher learning and leaders in the health care industry help reinforce our interest in the life sciences.”
The new system will promote the expansion of Baystate’s role as a national center for simulation training in graduate and continuing medical education, attracting top-tier faculty to the hospital—the western campus of Tufts University School of Medicine—and increasing employment opportunities for specialists in the medical device, plastics, and precision-machining sectors. Investments like this one are also helping the Pioneer Valley become a center of life sciences activity.
“The engine that drives our Commonwealth’s knowledge economy is fueled by innovation and the institutional collaborations that come from it. This surgical training enterprise can catalyze the partnerships necessary for important downstream economic benefits to the region and beyond,” said Pat Larkin, Director of the John Adams Innovation Institute. The Innovation Institute is a division of the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, the state’s economic development agency for the innovation economy.
The project’s immediate work is the development, production, and validation of a surgical training kit for open bowel surgery, advancing the simulation training curriculum of area academic institutes, and establishing competitive advantages for Baystate’s Simulation Center and Goldberg Surgical Skills Lab and the businesses associated with the training system. The kit will include ultrarealistic artificial bowel tissue, surgical tools and multimedia instructional materials. Eventually, simulated tissue and training materials for other types of surgeries will be available.
“We see the Open Bowel Trainer as the first in what we expect will be an expanding line of products designed for resident training, combining our mimetic tissue with curriculum developed by Baystate faculty,” said Eric Chamberlain, president of The Chamberlain Group. “This potent combination of didactics and hands-on anatomy will address a multitude of surgical education needs, making it possible for centers across the U.S. and worldwide to benefit from the advances we are making collectively.”
“The most important outcome of Baystate Medical Center’s notable leadership in simulation training is improving patient outcomes and the overall quality of our care through innovation in education,” said Dr. Neal Seymour, Chief of General Surgery at Baystate Medical Center and Medical Director of the Baystate Simulation Center and Goldberg Surgical Skills Lab. “But the fact that collaborations like ours with The Chamberlain Group and the John Adams Innovation Institute are leading to new economic opportunity in western Massachusetts, is truly expanding the definition of caring for a community.”

Wall Street Journal Health Blog: Be Still My Fake, Beating Heart
June 17, 2008, 11:55 am
Posted by Heather Won Tesoriero
In the quaint New England town of Great Barrington, Mass., there’s a group of kindly folks who spend their days churning out body parts– from colons to bladders to beating hearts.
Sounds like a Stephen King story or maybe even a slasher flick, we know. But this is for real. The town in the Berkshire Hills is home to the Chamberlain Group, a company that makes lifelike models to train doctors.
The company does have its roots in Hollywood, though. The founders and chief engineers got their start in parts doing special effects work for films including “The Matrix,” “Eraser,” and “Judge Dredd.”
The move into medical education came in 1997, when Johnson & Johnson asked Chamberlain to create a model for training people how to harvest leg veins for use in bypass surgery.
The call came at a good time. Company co-founder Lisa Chamberlain says. “opportunities in film production were becoming more limited because of computer-generated” images. She and her husband Eric discovered they relished the challenge of making models for surgeons because they had to be even more realistic than those used in films. “We got hooked,” she says.
The market for synthetic body parts and training models is growing as training programs turn to technology to enhance learning that has relied on cadavers and animals for generations. Now the company is a supplier to Boston Scientific, Medtronic and the Cleveland Clinic.
What sets Chamberlain apart, the company says, is its lifelike body tissue, made from special polymers. We haven’t dissected anything since a frog in high school biology lab, but we were struck by the company’s beating heart trainer, which sells for $5,000 or more depending on options. Coronary arteries for the heart are sold in packs of ten, allowing would-be surgeons to practice on vessels at $12 a pop. Click here for more info on the heart, and click on the video to see it in action.
The next frontier: the Chamberlain Group is partnering with Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, Mass., to sell training systems, starting with bowel surgery. Baystate will provide the curriculum and Chamberlain will provide the parts.
