Why clinical phantoms are so important?
Interventional pulmonology involves complex procedures such as bronchoscopy, EBUS, and biopsies—each requiring hand-eye coordination, anatomical knowledge, and familiarity with imaging modalities. Studies show that the learning curve can be steep, requiring supervised practice on patients before reaching proficiency.
Addressing a clinical training gap
Traditional methods—such as cadaver labs or virtual simulations—either lack anatomical realism or are limited by availability, cost, or ethical concerns. OmioLabs addresses this gap by developing realistic, reusable physical phantoms that replicate human airway anatomy with remarkable accuracy.
Our science
Our technology is built on principles in medical physics, biomedical engineering, and material science. They are developed in collaboration with clinicians, engineers, and academic partners. They are currently used in research labs and hospital training settings, and have received positive feedback from interventional pulmonologists for their anatomical fidelity and realistic feeling.
