摘要:
There are provided a surgical jig (24) which is directly used during surgery to make it possible to accurately recognize a position where a recess (44, 46) is to be formed in the surface of a surgical target bone (14) of a patient; and a verification jig (34) which is directly used during surgery to make it possible to precisely verify whether or not the recess (44, 46) formed in the surface of the surgical targeted bone (14) of the patient is of a required shape.The surgical jig (24) has an inner surface (26) matching the surface shape of the surgical target bone (14) of the patient, and a penetrating opening (30, 32) formed in correspondence with a site where the recess (44, 46) is to be formed. The verification jig (34) has a protrusion (40, 42) protruding from an inner surface (36) thereof in correspondence with the recess (44, 46) to be formed.

An apparatus for conducting a training in endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery is provided.A training apparatus 2 for endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery is composed of a human head model 4 and a liquid circulation means 6. The human head model 4 comprises an anterior portion 8 including a nose part 16 in which nostrils 16a are formed, and a main portion 40 including at least part of a nasal septum 44, at least part of a nasal cavity lateral wall 42, at least part of a sphenoidal sinus posterior wall 66, and at least part of an internal carotid artery 72. The liquid circulation means 6 comprises a storage tank 102 for storing a nontransparent colored liquid, a supply flow path 104 disposed between the storage tank 102 and the at least part of the internal carotid artery 72, a return flow path 106 disposed between the at least part of the internal carotid artery 72 and the storage tank 102, and a circulation pump 108 for circulating the liquid within the storage tank 102 through the supply flow path 104, the at least part of the internal carotid artery 72, and the return flow path 106.

摘要:
A cranial deformation correction helmet (2) having a shell (4), which retains necessary strength and hardness, but can be sufficiently lightweight, and a method capable of producing such a cranial deformation correction helmet (2) with sufficient rapidity and at low cost, are provided.To produce the helmet (2), a non-foamed synthetic resin shell (4) is shaped by selective laser sintering, and then a foamed synthetic resin liner (6) is disposed on the inner surface of the shell (4). The relative density of the shell (4) is 90 to 98%.
摘要:
A process for producing an artificial bone model in accordance with the selective laser sintering process which comprises extending a powder material for sintering comprising 30 to 90 parts by weight of powder of a synthetic resin and 10 to 70% by weight of an inorganic filler to form a thin layer and irradiating a portion of the thin layer having the shape formed based on tomograpic information of a natural bone with laser light so that the irradiated portion of the thin layer is sintered. The extension of the powder material for sintering to form the thin layer and the irradiation of the thin layer with laser light for sintering are conducted repeatedly. The artificial bone model can three-dimensionally reproduce steric shapes of natural bones such as bones in the human body precisely and accurately and exhibits the property for cutting closely similar to that of natural bones. The artificial bone model can be used for educational training or for studying a plan for curing before a surgical operation.
