Is the FLS all-in-one trainer system portable and easy to use in a training center?
Yes, the All-in-One Trainer allows for multiple teaching scenarios.
Used independently from the SimCart, the FLS box weighs approximately 6kg and can be positioned on any flat surface for use with any existing audio-visual equipment in your facility.
The included SimCart can be set up to be a wheeled mobile unit, which is easily maneuverable around a classroom setting, or, the additional Flat Feet allow for a more permanent and stationary practice space.

Does this laparoscopic simulator help learn the manual skills needed for the FLS exam?
Absolutely, working closely with the SAGES-ACS FLS committee, we designed this trainer specifically for the FLS training course and exam, and are the exclusive trusted supplier for FLS equipment.
The exam itself covers skills such as: hand-eye coordination, dexterity, instrument control and efficiency. With the FLS Trainer, you will be able to set up scenarios to practice these skills under exam style conditions where you would be marked on time precision.
