Why it works
Three ideas, one toolbox.
The GSB exists because simulation labs don't travel. Everything about it is designed to remove a barrier.
Adaptable
From medical students to surgery residents to faculty teaching — adapt it to any specialty or skill level. Learn from our modules or create your own.
Portable
The entire simulator lives in a 12.5-inch toolbox. A call room, a kitchen table, a training day in Kigali — practice anywhere, anytime.
Being used worldwide
From US med schools to training days in Rwanda.
Watch how programs on four continents fold the GSB into their surgical education.
Reviews from around the world
Hear it from the trainees.
"Very accessible and a great way to practice introduction to these skills."
"Good simple tool to help simulate the intended anastomoses."
"I love the box!"
"Great experience & super helpful for practice. The only difficulty I foresee is needing a partner to assist with portions of procedures. This could be remedied by having sections online for solo practice and partner practice so users can differentiate which skills they can practice on their own and which may require a co-resident buddy."
The companion app
Practice on camera. A surgeon reviews it.
The box teaches the motions — the app closes the loop with real human feedback.

Record your practice
Film your reps right in the app — knots, sutures, anastomoses.
2

Verified surgical faculty review your videos and tell you what to fix.
