Winco USG
Ultrasound guided mastery

Training and practice for healthcare professionals are essential to ensure the best outcomes and guarantee patient safety, especially when it comes to invasive procedures.

To support this learning process, Winco USG was created as a simulation platform for holistic and integrated training, based on the necessary competencies to perform punctures on patients under ultrasound guidance.

Why Winco USG?

  • It is a cross-disciplinary platform for all medical and nursing specialties that use ultrasound-guided punctures in their procedures.
  • Designed for the practice of both interventional and non-interventional procedures
  • No real ultrasound equipment is required

Winco USG integrates an accessible and intuitive learning management platform that allows user management, training program creation, and monitoring of student progress

It provides a specific and objective assessment of student performance for each exercise automatically

Includes linear, convex, and intracavitary probes, realistic tissue skin pads, and needles

“Trainees can assess the degree of mastery of essential skills before performing procedures on real patients.”

“In the field of training healthcare professionals across various disciplines, categories, and roles, there is an increasing demand for simulation systems and environments. In this regard, we are proud to have contributed to the development of Winco USG, which will facilitate the learning of ultrasound techniques for future generations.”
