Client Testimonials

Polhemus motion tracking technology is able to produce repeatable and reliable results--which is critical in obtaining the necessary data.

- Dr. Howard Poizner, World Renowned Neuroscientist, Poizner Lab

G4 is really remarkable, in front of any other device that we experienced until now. It’s really a great product that definitely surpasses all others in its class.

- Roberto Furlan, Managing Director, Khymeia

A great advantage of the PATRIOT tracking system used in SEP (SimSurgery Educational Platform is a customer product) is that it measures the position and orientation of the free instruments without having the instruments anchored in a mechanical measurement system. This feature makes the simulator user interface very flexible and allows the user to freely select an instrument port. As a consequence, the system can be used to simulate scenarios with any port configurations, including single incision laparoscopic surgery.

- Vidar Sorhus, SimSurgery

We tested dozens of technologies, but only Polhemus gave us consistent, plug-and-play performance and the ability to capture even the tiniest instrument movements with sub-millimeter accuracy.
