    摘要: A training device simulating ablation of a disc space between adjacent vertebral bodies. A heating apparatus includes an upper surface. A lower plate is provided on the upper surface of the heating apparatus. An upper substantially transparent plate is fixed by a frame above the lower plate. The upper plate is etched with an outline of a vertebral body. Fixed in position proximate the lower frame, the upper plate holds a biological material compressed between the plates. Tool-holding clamps, attached to the frame, are positioned to insert a surgical tool, in a proper location and orientation, into the biological material between the upper and lower plates.

    摘要: Surgical simulators and methods associated with the same are provided. In one aspect, a surgical simulator includes a rib cage including a plurality of ribs, internal tissue positionable within the rib cage, and external tissue adapted to cover at least a portion of the rib cage. In another aspect, a method of manufacturing a surgical simulator includes forming a rib cage including a plurality of ribs, positioning internal tissue within the rib cage, and at least partially covering the rib cage with external tissue. In a further aspect, a method of modifying biologic tissue for use with a surgical simulator is provided.

    摘要: A surgical simulation assembly is provided for simulating realistic surgery on animal organs or human cadavers. The surgical simulation assembly comprises a generally flat tray having a central indentation for receiving an organ, at least one drainage aperture and at least one indented trough extending from the central indentation for receiving at least one tube. The tray is assembled with a simulator heart and lungs prepped for connection to a variable speed double action air pump assembly that creates both positive pressure and a vacuum on the heart to simulate a beating heart. The tray is supported on a basket having a lower containment portion for containing fluid waste collected during the simulated surgery. The basket is elevated by risers over a base designed to support the assembly.
