Gall Bladders
A series of four highly realistic models of increasing complexity for structured and staged
training on gall bladder removal. Trainees will progress from the Surgical Dissection Pads
(Part Nos: 50114/50118) to this range of Gall Bladders.
Skills
• Incision and dissection of the visceral peritoneal layer
• Division and mobilisation of vessels
• Ligation of cystic artery and cystic duct
• Removal of gall bladder
• Visualisation and recognition of anatomical landmarks and organ variations
• All the skills defined for the Surgical Dissection Pads, but in the context of performing them
on an organ
• Cholangiogram catheter insertion and stone retrieval
Features
• Highly realistic - the image through the laparoscope, and the tissue response to cutting and
dissection is convincing. This provides trainees with precisely what they would experience in
an operating theatre
• The variations available in the range of Gall Bladders provide increased levels of difficulty and
the element of surprise to be introduced. This is almost impossible to achieve when using
animal tissue
• When running a course, the used component can be removed and replaced with a new one
in seconds
• All vessels and gall bladder are fluid filled
• Incorporates a luer lock to which the Mock Blood Giving Set (Part No: 60651) may be
attached to provide fluid flow for the cystic artery. Use Mock Blood - Arterial (Part No: 60653)
• Use with Soft Tissue Retaining Set (Part No: 50151), MATT Trainer - Basic (Part No: 50250) and
MATT Trainer - Standard (Part No: 50150)
