    摘要: A method, apparatus, and system according to which a patient simulator includes one or more of the following: a left eye assembly including a simulated left pupil, a simulated left eyelid, and/or a simulated left iris; a right eye assembly including a simulated right pupil, a simulated right eyelid, and/or a simulated right iris; a neck assembly including a simulated neck; a left brow assembly including a simulated left brow; a right brow assembly including a simulated right brow; a tear duct assembly including simulated left and right cheeks through which artificial pores are formed; and a mouth assembly including a simulated mouth. In various embodiments, any one, or a combination, of these assemblies may be, include, or be part of, a manikin in the form of a human face, and may therefore be activated simultaneously to realistically simulate life-like human emotional states.

    摘要: Described herein are anatomical models for medical training, surgical planning, or patient demonstration. The anatomical models include a replica of a target body part that may be altered, unfinished, or deformed so that an anatomical component may be attached thereto to complete the replica and provide visual training with respect to symmetry and other aspects of medical or surgical procedures. For example, the anatomical models may be altered, unfinished, or deformed to simulate a post-surgical deformity. Systems and methods including the anatomical models are also described herein.

    摘要: A physical model configured to be physically altered by a surgical instrument for providing feedback related to a surgical plan specific to an anatomy of a patient. The physical model has a body including a physical volume representative of the anatomy of the patient and a geometrical feature embedded within the physical volume wherein the geometrical feature is visually distinct from a remainder of the physical volume and wherein the geometrical feature has parameters that are based on the surgical plan. The physical volume is configured to be at least partially removed by the surgical instrument such that the geometrical feature is configured to be exposed for providing visual feedback about an accuracy of the surgical plan and/or an accuracy of the surgical instrument in carrying out the surgical plan.

    摘要: A surgeon training apparatus includes a cassette, which includes biological tissue repurposed into a form consistent with the anatomical configuration of abdominal hernias, affixed into an anatomically correct silicon framework which replicates the abdominal anatomy. The framework positions the cassette in an anatomically correct position within the abdominal cavity, enabling surgeons to train using a properly positioned representation of the target anatomy, thus requiring the surgeon to properly use surgical tools to correct the pathologic condition caused by the hernia. The cassette is formed by applying biologic tissue to a specially designed “plate,” which affixes the tissue block into the anatomic framework, and is adapted for connection to a grounding device so the surgeon can use cautery during the simulated hernia repair. The cassette can be positioned inside a manikin, and can be used to train surgeons to repair human hernias using multiple techniques, including robot assisted and laparoscopic methods.
