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
Realism
Convincing fluid filled vessels, cecum contents and tissues encourage correct handling of tissue
