    ARTHRO Mentor [http://simbionix.com/simulators/arthro-mentor ] is an advanced
arthroscopic training simulator, which provides an unlimited resource of cases and tasks
for hands-on arthroscopy training in a safe and controlled environment. This Industry
leading advanced simulator was recently upgraded to include MentorLearn(TM)
[http://simbionix.com/training-management/mentorlearn ], Simbionix' web-based simulator
curricula management system. ARTHRO Mentor with MentorLearn provides access from a remote
location 24 hours-a-day 7 days-a-week.

    Arthroscopic surgical techniques require a high level of skills which may take years
of training using traditional methods. The new comprehensive ARTHRO Mentor training
curriculum now being introduced teaches the basics for various arthroscopic procedures and
contains a set of online courses for the following procedures: Diagnostic knee
arthroscopy, Microfractures, ACL reconstruction, Bankart repair and Rotator cuff repair.
The courses all include step-by-step explanations accompanied by videos of live procedures
performed by leading physicians. After viewing didactic material, physicians may practice
performing the procedures on the simulator. The product's virtual reality capabilities
combined with tactile feedback are designed to improve the ability to teach and train
surgeons, while achieving clinical proficiency in the safest, most efficient manner
possible.

    "The premium content we added enhances the didactic value of the simulator," said
Inbal Mazor, Simbionix VP of Global Marketing. "We are working on additional content and
courses for the benefit of our clients, and enriching the training offering of this
advanced simulator. On top of that, we are continuing our investment in the ARTHRO Mentor
and are developing several new shoulder modules expected to be released later on this
year."
