Erler Zimmer Ultrasound model for sonography

Erler Zimmer ultrasound model for sonography in detail

The model is specially designed for beginners who want to be trained by an expert. It enables precise visualisation of the anatomy of the liver, bile ducts, pancreas and the rest of the abdomen and therefore meets the highest training standards. Among other things, the model shows open intraoperative sonography of the liver, bile ducts and pancreas as well as laparoscopic examination of the biliary system to check for gallstones and to assess liver and pancreatic lesions. The soft materials of the model allow for realistic sonography. It also contains various lesion simulations such as gallstones and cysts as well as solid tumours in the liver, pancreas and kidneys. The stomach and duodenum can be removed to practise various sonographic methods on the bile ducts and pancreas. The included container allows realistic intraoperative and laparoscopic sonography in water without the need for ultrasound gel. The model contains life-size organs, structures and conspicuous lesions. It also fits into the laparoscopy learning box for practising laparoscopic ultrasound of organs under direct laparoscopic vision. The materials of the model are robust and durable. The model includes the liver (with segmental anatomy, portal and hepatic venous system, ligamentum teres and ligamentum venosum), the bile ducts (including gallbladder, cystic duct, intra- and extrahepatic bile ducts), the pancreas (including the pancreatic duct), the spleen, the kidneys and detailed vascular structures such as the aorta, the vena cava, the celiac trunk and its branches, the portal vein and its branches as well as the mesenteric arteries and veins. and V. mesentericae sup. and their branches. Pathological findings include lesions of the liver (both solid and cystic tumours), gallstones, pancreatic tumours (one invading the portal vein), lesions of the spleen and both kidneys and a tumour of the left adrenal gland.
