One of a series of three models representing the different locations in which the vermiform appendix is to be found. Trainees will move on from the Surgical Dissection Pads to this progressive 3 stage appendices suite:
Normal represents 32% of locations
Post-ileal represents 1% of locations
Retrocecal represents 64% of locations
The model has the additional feature of a simulated peptic ulcer, for closure using peritoneum & mesentry.
Overview
The variations available in the range of appendices (Normal and Retrocecal) provide increased levels of difficulty
