This realistic model allows trainees to practice the skills and techniques required for surgical interventions on a gall bladder with a short cystic duct.
The internal anatomy of this gall bladder model allows for practice identifying the ductal anatomy, which is harder to distinguish during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. With the reduced space, it can be difficult to safely clip, divide, or dissect the cystic duct, and can lead to bile duct injury and other complications.
Gall Bladder pads are supplied individually. Easily attach the model to a retaining jig, or other laparoscopic equipment to practice the incision, dissection and removal of pathologies and the gall bladder.
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
Incorporates a luer lock to which the Mock Blood Giving Set (60651) may be attached to provide fluid flow for the appendicular artery. Use Mock Blood - Arterial (250ml) (60653)
Safety
Contains Latex
