A series of 4 highly realistic models of increasing complexity for structured and staged training in gall bladder removal. Trainees progress from the Surgical Dissection Pads to this range of Gall Bladders.
Overview
The 4 variations of gall bladder provide increased levels of difficulty, and the element of surprise is introduced & controlled
All vessels and the gall bladder are fluid filled
Realism
Highly realistic view through the laparoscope, and the tissue response to cutting and dissection is convincing
Versatility
When running a course, the used component can be removed and replaced with a new one in seconds
Incision and dissection of the visceral peritoneal layer
Division and mobilization of vessels
Ligation of cystic artery and cystic duct
Removal of gall bladder
Visualization and recognition of anatomical landmarks and organ variations
All 7 skills defined for the Surgical Dissection Pad, within this procedure
