IMRA Surgical is pioneering the future of surgical training. We believe hands-on learning shouldn’t come at the cost of ethics, access, or realism. Our models are used worldwide by academic programs and medical manufacturers to reduce training time and cost—while improving surgical precision.
The Future of Surgical Training
IMRA Ecosystem
Dr. David Thurtle
Urology Fellow, North Shore Hospital (NZ)
The IMRA Partial Nephrectomy Course offered excellent hands-on training with realistic hydrogel models and exposure to multiple robotic systems I hadn’t used before. It’s a great way to build confidence and technique in a safe, controlled environment. I’d definitely recommend it to other surgeons looking to advance their skills.

Gynaecologist & Fertility Specialist, Bendigo
The IMRA Hysterectomy Course was a great introduction to robotic surgery. The hydrogel models were realistic and ethically sound, and learning directly from experienced surgeons made a big difference. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to build their skills.

Dr. Sita Murugappan
Royal Australian New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists
The robotic hysterectomy workshop using the Pindari hydrogel models within the hydroabdomen, simulated tasks and various robotic platforms was fantastic for all skill levels. The realistic models accurately replicated real-life anatomy, and the one-on-one guidance from facilitators was invaluable. It’s an excellent way to start your journey into robotics.

Medical Doctor
The IMRA Partial Nephrectomy Course was a great opportunity to get hands-on with robotic systems early in my training. Practicing on hydrogel models with real-time guidance helped me build confidence and a better understanding of robotic urology. I’d highly recommend it to other unaccredited registrars looking to upskill safely and effectively.

IMRA does not use animals for courses, demonstrations, product research and development, or for any other purpose, and instead uses high-fidelity and ethical human simulation models that better serve educators, trainees, and patients alike. Unlike our advanced simulators, animals used in medical training are limited by serious ethical concerns, poor approximation of human anatomy, inability for reuse, risk of disease transmission, and significant financial and logistical investments. At IMRA, our vision is an animal-free medical education system rooted in innovation, compassion, and human relevance
