Title: Trevor Hackman and the Transoral Robotic Simulator
Introduction
Trevor Hackman is an inventor associated with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His patent work includes a simulator designed to support training in transoral robotic surgery.
Latest Patents
Hackman is credited with 1 patent: “Transoral Robotic Simulator.” The invention describes a three-dimensional human head model with an oral cavity made from synthetic material, including a mandible structure and a simulated tongue and/or tonsil made from silicone. Artificial tissue is placed inside the oral cavity to mimic biological tissue, such as a tumor. Marker material on or within the artificial tissue helps users distinguish it visually from the surrounding synthetic material.
Career Highlights
The simulator provides a physical model for practicing transoral robotic surgery techniques. Its combination of anatomical structures, simulated tissue, and visual markers is intended to make the training experience more realistic and useful.
Collaborations
Hackman’s listed coworkers include Alex Murr and Richard Harry Feins. His work is associated with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Conclusion
Trevor Hackman’s patented simulator combines modeled oral anatomy and distinguishable artificial tissue to support transoral robotic surgery training.
