- UterusÂ
- Insufflated abdomen Â
- Fallopian tubes Â
- Realistic vaginal canal and cervix Â
- Blood supply connected to a reservoir for realistic bleeding when arteries are cut Â
Â
SFPTs exhibit three pathologies for removal, an ectopic pregnancy, ovarian cyst, and fibroid. Subtotal, total, and radical hysterectomies can also be performed. The Uterus component is easily replaceable between exercises, for repeatable learning without disruption to sessions. Â
Compatible for use with harmonic scalpels and a range of surgical devices and instruments including:Â
- Uterine manipulator – Rumi IIÂ
- Uterine sound – Hegar type Â
- Tenaculum (Cervical forceps)Â
- Speculums (Cusco, Sims, Grave)Â
Â
Note: The blood used with this product contains a new preservative which is approved for use by EU cosmetic regulations which means that, once diluted, it is safe for extended skin contact. Â
We still recommend the use of gloves, as the pigments may stain skin and clothes.Â

Can multiple surgical techniques be performed on the Surgical Female Pelvic Trainer?
Yes, multiple surgical procedures can be performed including repair or removal of ectopic pregnancy; salpingectomy of fallopian tubes; ovarian cyst removal; myomectomies of intramural fibroid and a hysterectomy of the uterus.
When performed in the correct order a single uterus can be used to perform all of the procedures before a replacement is required.
