If you’re a medical student, surgical resident, or healthcare professional looking to develop or refine laparoscopic skills, Laptitude is for you! Its structured training approach adapts to different experience levels, making it suitable for beginners and advanced practitioners alike.

Absolutely! Laptitude is built for flexibility, so you can practice anytime, anywhere, even at home. The hardware works seamlessly with desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile phones, giving you a fully portable way to sharpen your laparoscopic skills without relying on lab access.

Laptitude is designed to directly support FLS-aligned skills, helping you master the core tasks required for the exam. Its adaptive difficulty adjusts challenges to match your current skill level, ensuring steady progress without frustration. Plus, you receive instantaneous feedback on each action, allowing you to correct mistakes and refine your technique in real time. By practicing regularly with Laptitude, you can build confidence, precision, and efficiency, key factors for successfully passing the FLS exam.

Laptitude trains essential laparoscopic skills, including positioning, grasping,
transferring, ligation, dissecting, cutting, and suturing. Through structured mini-games and adaptive challenges, you’ll improve precision, motion efficiency, ambidexterity, hand-eye coordination, and situational awareness, all critical for real-world surgical performance. After learning individual skills, you’ll learn to apply these in isolated procedural steps before you
move on to full simulated procedures.

An adaptive simulator tailors challenges to each resident’s skill level, providing targeted practice, instant feedback, and engaging, motivating training. This helps build confidence, precision, and procedural memory, preparing residents more effectively for real surgeries.

Laptitude offers dynamic, context-specific feedback tailored to each game mode. In Curious Cases, feedback is more arcade-style, focusing on speed and accuracy per level, with instantaneous cues via haptics and on-screen indicators. It also tracks extraneous movements, instrument collisions, and other basic performance metrics. As you progress into Skill Drills and Procedures, feedback becomes more intensive and procedure-focused, providing detailed insights on grip pressure, tissue handling, and errors like burned or nicked tissue. As you progress, the feedback becomes increasingly precise, helping you refine technique and develop surgical accuracy and control.

Laptitude uses gamification to make skill development more engaging and motivating. By incorporating intrinsic motivation, users stay focused and committed to practice. Its engaging gameplay encourages repeated practice, turning complex laparoscopic tasks into interactive, goal-oriented experiences. Like other serious games, Laptitude combines fun with learning by providing instant feedback, adaptive difficulty, and measurable progress, which helps users refine technique, build confidence, and develop procedural memory more efficiently than traditional repetitive drills alone.

Absolutely! Laptitude uses adaptive difficulty to match your current skill level. It monitors your performance and guides you to the next step, whether that means repeating an exercise to refine your technique or advancing to a more challenging stage.

Open orders will begin shipping in late September 2025. Delivery times may vary based on location, but you’ll receive a tracking link once your order is dispatched. We expect our next shipment to arrive in December. Sign up for the wait list to receive early access here.

Yes! We offer bulk (≥ 5 units) purchase options for universities, hospitals, and training centers. Please contact our sales team via sales@grendelmedical.com for pricing, customization, and implementation support details.

Institutional pricing exists because organizations often need multiple accounts (floating licenses) on a single station and want to track performance across residents or cohorts. These features are available through the Skill Center Online Dashboard, which allows for analytics, comparisons, and progress tracking.

Laptitude for Institutions also includes an extended warranty to accommodate use by multiple users, which is reflected in the pricing. Since Laptitude provides adaptive training tailored to each user, every individual has their own profile. Multiple floating licenses on a single unit are only supported through the professional version, managed via the Dashboard environment.
