SIMULATOR, ARTIFICIAL HEART VALVE, METHOD OF MAKING ARTIFICIAL HEART VALVE, ARM, AND PREDICTIVE METHOD
A simulator comprising a chamber container; a flexible simulation chamber disposed inside the chamber container and simulating a chamber of a living body; at least one chamber arm disposed inside the chamber container, a distal end of the chamber arm being fixed relative to a point on the simulation chamber and a position of the distal end being controllable from a proximal end; and control means for controlling a simulation procedure to simulate movement of the chamber of the living body, the control means being adapted to change the position of the distal end during the simulation procedure.
COLPOTOMY MODEL
A colpotomy model is provided for assisting in the training and practice of users performing a colpotomy procedure. The colpotomy model has a simulated vaginal opening which covers a proximal end of a simulated pelvic frame and a simulated vaginal canal which defines an internal space that encompasses a simulated cervix. The simulated cervix is suspended via at least one cord to provide a realistic response to user interaction with the simulated cervix. The user is directed to manipulate the simulated cervix and make one or more incisions where the simulated vaginal canal becomes reflected near the simulated cervix from the manipulations. The user is then directed to continue through the colpotomy model to access a simulated peritoneal cavity or other portions of the colpotomy model in accordance with a simulated procedure being performed.
Moulage training apparatus, injury simulant, method of making and using the same
The present invention generally relates to a medical training apparatus, injury simulant, method of making and using the same. More particularly, the present invention is directed towards a moulage training apparatus having one or more access panels, injury simulant, method of making and using the same in the field of emergent and non-emergent medical treatment and acute care simulation.
METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR SIMULATING NEUROSURGICAL AND ORTHOPAEDIC SPINAL COLUMN AND CEREBRAL SURGERY
The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for simulating neurosurgical and orthopaedic spinal colunm and cerebral surgery, provided in which method are model structures which form anatomical structures and which are optically, haptically and functionally modelled on organs or organ parts to be surgically treated, by means of which model structures simulated surgical operations are carried out. The problem addressed by the invention is that of making surgery safer by further improving training, and therefore increasing patient safety. This is solved by the sensing of a parameter of the operation simulation, such as pressure, accuracy, tension, position and/or force, by a sensor and the parameter is assigned to and stored with the simulation event, which is outputted in a processed form on request.
MIMICKING PHYSIOLOGIC CONDITIONS DURING ORGAN OR TISSUE PERFUSION
A system is configured to perfuse one or more organs and/or associated tissues while monitoring the physiological function, testing medical devices or therapies, or both. The system includes a pump, a container, a fluid circuit, a platform, and at least one actuator. The pump is configured to generate a flow of a fluid. The container defines an interior cavity and is configured to receive at least one organ or tissue and maintain at least one environmental condition associated with the at least one organ or tissue within the interior cavity. The fluid circuit is configured to fluidically couple the pump to the at least one organ or tissue. The platform is operably coupled to the container. The at least one actuator is configured to move the platform to mimic at least one biological movement associated with the at least one organ or tissue.
Wound box trainer
A medical training device facilitating practice of a task-specific medical procedure for the treatment of a traumatic injury is presented. The invention includes a simulant with or without a simulated wound and an optional case adapted to receive the simulant. For embodiments specific to establishing an emergency airway, the simulant includes a compressible body, an insert, an outer covering, and an inner covering. The compressible body and the outer covering approximate a neck with or without a chin. The insert approximates a trachea. The insert is disposed within and separable from the compressible body. The inner covering is disposed between the outer covering and the insert. For embodiments specific to an intramuscular injection, the simulant includes a compressible body, a slot, and a fill. The compressible body approximates a muscle. The slot extends into the compressible body. The slot is adapted to receive the fill. The fill is removably secured within the slot. The fill is adapted to receive a fluid from a syringe which penetrates the simulant.
Heart model
A heart model is retained in a container for a catheter simulator. The container includes an accommodating unit for accommodating a liquid, having side walls and a bottom surface, a connection unit attached to one of the side walls and retaining the heart model, and an installation part provided on one of the side walls. The installation part is configured to insert a catheter from an outside of the container into the simulated blood vessel of the heart model. The connection unit includes a holding protrusion protruding inside the accommodating unit, and a communicating hole. A front end of the holding protrusion is open so that the heart model is detachable from and reattachable to the holding protrusion by inserting and extracting a terminal of the heart model.
