The Lap Climber Arthroscopy Simulator with Screen is a self-contained, PC-free arthroscopic training station built for shoulder and knee procedure practice. It pairs a 30° wide-angle arthroscope with a built-in 13-inch recordable display, two interchangeable training domes (opaque and clear), eight skill-building modules and a seven-piece instrument set everything needed to practice triangulation, suturing and instrument navigation without booking OR time or a computer.

What Is an Arthroscopy Simulator with Screen?
An arthroscopy simulator with screen is a bench-top training system that replicates the camera-guided view of real arthroscopic surgery on its own built-in monitor, rather than requiring a separate laptop or PC. This unit’s 30° arthroscope feeds a live image directly to the attached 13-inch screen, which also records footage for self-review or instructor feedback – making it a plug-and-play option for orthopedic residency programs, sports medicine fellowships, surgical skills labs and device-training teams.
Key Benefits
- No computer required: the integrated 13-inch screen displays and records the camera feed directly, so trainees can start practicing without pairing a laptop or installing software.
- Realistic OR-style visualisation: the 30° arthroscope with integrated light source and 110° field of view mirrors the optics used in live arthroscopic procedures.
- Two training domes for two teaching styles: the opaque dome builds blind, feel-based instrument control, while the clear dome lets instructors observe hand and instrument position during demonstrations.
- Progressive skill building: eight interchangeable modules take trainees from basic instrument navigation through suturing, trimming, knot tying and object-retrieval drills.
- Complete instrument set included: seven arthroscopic instruments ship in the kit, so training can begin immediately with no separate tool purchase.
- Portable and reusable: the compact, self-contained housing fits on a desktop or cart and eliminates the recurring cost of cadaveric or animal-tissue practice.
Core Features
Built-In 13-Inch Recordable Display
A dedicated 13-inch screen connects directly to the arthroscope camera – no laptop, tablet, or software installation needed. The display supports on-board recording so sessions can be saved and reviewed for self-assessment or instructor feedback.
30° Wide-Angle Arthroscope
The included arthroscope offers a 30° viewing angle with an integrated light source and a 110° field of view, closely matching the visual perspective of arthroscopes used in live shoulder and knee procedures.
Dual Training Domes
Two interchangeable shells are included: an opaque dome for realistic blind-navigation practice and a clear dome that lets an instructor or learner watch hand and instrument positioning from outside the shell during coaching or demonstration.
8 Interchangeable Skill Modules
The kit ships with eight swappable training modules that build arthroscopic technique step by step, including dedicated modules for rotator cuff suturing, meniscus suturing, meniscus trimming, knot-tying practice, instrument-navigation (“maze”) drills, and both planar and three-dimensional object-handling exercises.
7-Piece Arthroscopic Instrument Set
Seven training instruments are included so no separate tool purchase is required: an arthroscopic probe hook, grasping forceps, biting/punch forceps, a suture anchor with inserter, a combined knot-pusher/suture-cutter, and a suture hook with memory guide wire. Programs that need spares or a dedicated clinical set can pair this trainer with our arthroscopy suture hook kit or meniscus suture instrument kit.
Broad Display Fitment
Beyond the built-in screen, the camera head fits Windows and Mac computers as well as Android and iOS mobile devices for trainers who prefer an external display or want to project the feed for group teaching.

Who This Simulator Is For
- Orthopedic surgery residents building foundational arthroscopic technique before OR exposure
- Sports medicine fellows practicing shoulder and knee arthroscopic suturing, trimming and knot tying – see also our shoulder arthroscopy instrument set and meniscus suture instrument set for clinical-side instruments
- Surgical skills lab administrators who want a self-contained trainer that doesn’t depend on a lab computer
- Medical device sales and training teams demonstrating arthroscopic instrument use to clinicians
- Nursing and PA programs introducing minimally invasive surgical concepts
How to Use the Simulator
- Attach the 30° arthroscope to the training dome and power on the integrated 13-inch display – no software installation is required.
- Select a training dome: use the opaque dome for blind-navigation practice or the clear dome for observed instruction.
- Insert the desired skill module (for example, the meniscus suture module) into the dome base.
- Choose instruments from the included 7-piece set and begin practicing suturing, trimming, knot tying or instrument-navigation drills while viewing the live feed on the built-in screen.
- Use the screen’s recording function to save the session for self-review or instructor feedback.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this arthroscopy simulator need a laptop or computer?
No. This version includes a built-in 13-inch screen that connects directly to the arthroscope, so it works as a stand-alone unit. The camera fits Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices if you prefer an external display.
Can the training sessions be recorded?
Yes. The integrated display includes on-board recording so training sessions can be saved for self-assessment or reviewed later with an instructor.
What is the difference between the opaque and clear training domes?
The opaque dome hides the internal module so trainees must rely on the camera view alone, replicating blind, feel-based instrument navigation as in real surgery. The clear dome lets an instructor or learner see hand and instrument position directly, which is useful for coaching and demonstration.
How many skill modules are included, and what do they cover?
Eight interchangeable modules are included, covering rotator cuff suturing, meniscus suturing, meniscus trimming, knot-tying practice, instrument-navigation (“maze”) drills, and planar and three-dimensional object-handling exercises.
What instruments come with the kit?
A seven-piece arthroscopic instrument set is included: a probe hook, grasping forceps, punch/biting forceps, a suture anchor with inserter, a combined knot-pusher/suture-cutter, and a suture hook with memory guide wire.
Is the arthroscope’s field of view realistic compared to real surgical scopes?
Yes. The arthroscope provides a 30° viewing angle with an integrated light source and a 110° field of view, closely matching the optics used in clinical shoulder and knee arthroscopic procedures.
Is this simulator suitable for beginners?
Yes. Beginners can start with the clear dome and instrument-navigation module to build basic camera and tool control, then progress to the opaque dome and procedure-specific modules such as meniscus suture or rotator cuff repair as skills advance.
