Westminster, Colorado-based ZimVie built its facility in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The “ZimVie Institute South” features more than 11,000 square feet of dedicated education and training space. It offers life-like simulated patient models, a cadaver lab and a fully integrated digital workflow.
ZimVie, the Zimmer Biomet dental and spine spinoff, said the facility also has 3D printing capabilities, RealGuide software and a mill.
According to a news release, the facility expands its institute model to enable the company to host cadaver and simulation courses. These courses teach advanced surgical and restorative techniques for full mouth reconstructions. The institute also hosts comprehensive training events covering everything from practice management to digital workflow training.
Located at ZimVie Dental’s headquarters, the facility also houses product manufacturing. ZimVie said this allows guests to see firsthand where the company makes its products.
The company said it expects the now-active institute to host more than 1,500 dental professionals annually. ZimVie trains more than 100,000 dental professionals across six institutes and virtual programs each year.
“We are thrilled to open ZimVie Institute South, our sixth and most advanced educational facility, and to welcome clinicians from around the world. Life-like instruction and training are core values within our educational platform,” said Indraneel Kanaglekar, SVP and president of ZimVie Dental. Our new and most comprehensive Institute will allow practitioners to experience the benefits of our innovative solutions, technology, and support.
“We look forward to expanding and growing our reach with a modern facility to complement our team’s commitment to continued innovation and education.”
