Whole body anatomical model MD-PVC-MODEL

microsurgerytraininganastomosis

This model is an example of the replacement of alive animals to master skills in microsurgery. Using the model during training of scientists and animal technicians, the number of live-animals needed will be reduced drastically. It gives the possibility of training approximately 25 different microsurgical techniques (i.e. anastomoses, cannulations, transplantations of vessels and organs). The MD-PVC-Rat comes in a carrying case, together with a video-user-guide, several spare parts and the computer simulation program, “Remote,” an interactive “patient-monitoring-system”, which can be used in combination with the MD-PVC Rat. The software runs on a computer-system with Windows-95 or higher operating system. One can train the skills needed for patient monitoring during several (micro-) surgical techniques. During surgery,anesthesia can be administered ; the animal's temperature and breathing can be observed and controlled. When the exercise is finished, the software generates a full report, showing every event and status.
