Cystoscopy Simulation Model
UroSim recently developed a novel cystoscopy model for the training of transurethral procedures. This model uses porcine bladder tissue with altered anatomy to resemble a human urethra and cystic bladder. Artificial tumors can be created in the cystic wall to simulate transurethral ablation techniques. Bleeding can be simulated with the creation of artificial vessels in the bladder wall. These vessels are connected to a roller pump which delivers artificial blood. Hemostasis techniques can be simulated in a hazard-free environment without the risk of patient harm.
Transurethral Prostatectomy Simulation Model
EndoSim has developed a model to simulate transurethral prostatectomy. This real tissue ex-vivo model contains an artificial prostate gland which can be used for laparoscopic and robotic TURP.
