Body Form - Gynaecology

Much valuable practice can be gained on these assemblies. Most of these have fluid-filled vessels that will bleed when cut. Great care has gone into achieving anatomical accuracy within the limitations of the materials used; all our materials are non-biological.

The Colposuspension Kit

The Colposuspension Kit comprises: the Colposuspension Assembly
Cooper’s Ligament
Suturing Ligament.

The Colposuspension Kit fits into the Body Form and the Surgical Female Pelvic Trainer and is used repeatedly for the practice of intra and extra corporeal knotting, and bladder suspension procedures. It plays a vital role in gynaecological surgical training; the tough ligaments ensure that the kit will withstand much use.

The Cooper's Ligament, vagina and bladder neck are sited correctly within the natural abdominal form of the structure of the Body Form and the Surgical Female Pelvic Trainer. The suturing ligament is placed around the vagina and receives the strong sutures which are used in this procedure; all ligaments can be replaced. The entire model can be used repeatedly.

The Colposuspension Assembly (60303) can be used many times. It has been designed for the conventional laparoscopic approach and Burch procedure for cystole.

Advanced Surgical Uterus (60287)

This model consists of a uterus, vagina, uterine cavity, uterine artery, ovarian artery and ovary, broad ligament and round ligament.

The uterine arteries are laid up with the peritoneum and advanced connective tissue. The pathologies that are featured are: 2 myoma, ovaries, cyst and ectropic pregnancy.

The Advanced Surgical Uterus is used for laparoscopic hysterectomy procedures including LAVH, and fits into the Body Form or the Surgical Female Pelvic Trainer.
This uterus is regarded as the final stage of training in this technique when a team can work together to remove the uterus as in life.

Myoma Uterus (60392)

This model consists of the uterus and vagina with some ligaments, fallopian tubes and ovaries. It is a simpler model than the advanced surgical uterus, and is designed for the removal of the two myoma which are contained within it. The myoma uterus fits into the Body Form or the Surgical Female Pelvic Trainer.

This uterus within the Body Form or the Surgical Female Pelvic Trainer provides role play and surgical skills acquisition for a team of trainees.

The Surgical Female Pelvic Trainer forms part of a range of assemblies which provide for programme training focusing on Minimal Access Gynaecological Surgical techniques.

The trainer accommodates gynaecological, minimal access and endoscopic techniques. The trainer features an abdominal wall which is raised to the level of the insufflation by two hoops. It aso includes perineum and bowel and Advanced Surgical Uterus.

The Surgical Female Pelvic Trainer accepts the following gynaecological assemblies:

Abdominal Wall (60265)
The abdominal skin which has the same fixing as the Clinical Female Pelvic Trainer and is raised by hoops to provide the applied anatomy for the procedure. This model is not airtight and should not be used to demonstrate pneumoperitoneum.

Trochars can be placed wherever they are needed and full access is achievable.

Abdominal walls of the trainer can be easily repaired using a proprietary glue (Copydex™). All parts can be washed and dried, and the skin will be ready for reuse.

Replaceable Anatomy:
All assemblies carry fixing points for corresponding location in the rigid structure of the abdominal cavity. All fluid-filled vessels can be fixed to a low pressure pump or a drip system, enabling continual fluid flow should the trainees procedure be inadequate.

When an operative procedure is completed the soft tissue assembly is removed; the cavity wiped clean as necessary and a new assembly can be put in place for the next trainee (or the assembly can be repaired) and fixed back in place.
