Introducing: Veterinary Simulators by VSI – now a part of 3B Scientific
share article
3B Scientific is a leader in the medical simulation field for human healthcare education. With the acquisition of Veterinary Simulator Industries (VSI) in 2024, we are broadening the scope of our offering and bringing the same dedication to high-quality, realistic simulation training to the veterinary field.
The benefits of veterinary simulation
Veterinary simulation has advanced veterinary education by providing a hands-on learning experience for students and professionals. Here’s why simulation-based training is a crucial component of modern veterinary education:
Product range
VSI offers an extensive selection of veterinary simulators to support diverse training needs. These high-fidelity models enhance skill development across multiple disciplines, including surgery, anesthesia, diagnostics, and emergency care.
Bovine simulators
Bovine simulation allows veterinary students to develop essential skills in diagnostics, reproductive care, and emergency interventions. VSI’s bovine simulators provide realistic training in procedures such as obstetric assistance, artificial insemination, and venipuncture. Available bovine simulators include Bovine Dystocia Simulator (Holstein/Hereford/Compact), Bovine Theriogenology Model, and Venipuncture and Injection Models.
Canine simulators
Canine simulators help veterinary professionals refine their skills in diagnostics, surgical procedures, and emergency care. VSI canine simulators enable training in basic life support, spay surgeries, venipuncture, and dental procedures. Available canine simulators include the Canine Basic Life Support, Canine Dental Technician and Surgical Models, Canine Spay Simulator, and Canine Bandaging Limb Model.
Equine simulators
Equine simulation provides hands-on training for essential veterinary procedures and emergency interventions. These simulators support training in dystocia management, nasogastric intubation, venipuncture, gastrointestinal palpation, and artificial insemination. Available equine simulators include the Equine Dystocia Simulator, Equine Palpation Colic Simulator, and Nasogastric Intubation and Venipuncture Models.
Swine and Ovis simulators
Swine and ovine simulators enhance training in key areas such as reproductive health, diagnostics, and emergency interventions. VSI simulators allow learners to practice obstetric management, venipuncture, and routine animal care. Available swine and ovis simulators include the Southdown Ewe Dystocia Simulator, Ewe Theriogenology Artificial Insemination Model, and Piglet Restraint & Blood Draw Simulator.
Euthanasia training simulators
Training in humane euthanasia techniques is a critical aspect of veterinary education. VSI’s euthanasia simulators provide a realistic and ethical learning experience, focusing on proper anatomical targeting and handling practices. These simulators include captive bolt and non-penetrating captive bolt models, featuring accurate anatomical landmarks for proper technique and a stress-free practice environment.
Shaping the future of veterinary education
The integration of Veterinary Simulator Industries into 3B Scientific marks an exciting step in our commitment to advancing medical and veterinary education. With a shared dedication to innovation, quality, and education, VSI simulators will continue to set new standards in veterinary training worldwide.
Veterinary simulation enhances learning outcomes, promotes ethical training, and ensures that future veterinary professionals are equipped with the hands-on skills necessary to provide the best care possible.
We are excited about this new chapter and look forward to supporting the global veterinary community with cutting-edge simulation solutions.

The benefits of veterinary simulation
Veterinary simulation has advanced veterinary education by providing a hands-on learning experience for students and professionals. Here’s why simulation-based training is a crucial component of modern veterinary education:
- Ethical training: Reduces the need for live animals in training, promoting ethical learning practices and supporting animal welfare standards.
- Realistic anatomy & physiology: Simulators accurately replicate the structures and responses of animals, including bovine, equine, canine, swine, and ovine models.
- Skill mastery: Enables repetitive practice of procedures such as surgical techniques, diagnostics, and emergency interventions without risk to live animals.
- Performance assessment: Provides detailed evaluation opportunities, allowing instructors to assess student proficiency and offer targeted feedback.
- Repetitive practice: Allows trainees to refine their skills in procedures that are not easily repeated on live animals.
- Realistic scenario training: Provides a detailed assessment of trainee performance in handling realistic situations, such as surgeries or birthing scenarios, giving instructors a way to evaluate proficiency and offer targeted guidance for improvement.
