Breast and abdominal augmentation and reconstruction teaching model

An anatomical teaching model for demonstrating and teaching principles of breast and/or abdominal surgical procedures, the anatomical teaching model comprising:

• a torso including a chest wall surface and an abdominal wall surface;
• a pectoralis major muscle piece attachable to the chest wall surface;
• a breast tissue piece positionable over the pectoralis major muscle piece,
• wherein relative positions of the pectoralis major muscle piece and of the breast tissue piece are manipulable to permit a clinician to demonstrate at least one of a female anatomy, a surgical procedure to the female anatomy, or a condition resulting from the surgical procedure, the model being characterized by further comprising;
• a pair of rectus muscle pieces attachable to the abdominal wall surface, the pair of rectus muscle pieces comprising two sections of material positionable symmetrically about a sagittal plane of the torso;
• and
• an abdominal tissue piece positionable over the pair of rectus muscle pieces, wherein relative positions of the pair of rectus muscle pieces and the abdominal tissue piece are manipulable to permit a clinician to demonstrate at least one of a female anatomy, a surgical procedure to the female anatomy, or a condition prompting or resulting from the surgical procedure,
• the model being characterized by still further comprising a capsule pocket configured to be inserted between the pectoralis major muscle piece and the chest wall surface, the capsule pocket having an opening for insertion of an implant.

An anatomical teaching model for demonstrating and teaching the principles of abdominal surgical procedures, the anatomical model comprising:

• a torso including a chest wall surface and an abdominal wall surface;
• a pair of rectus muscle pieces removably attachable to the abdominal wall surface, the pair of rectus muscle pieces symmetrically disposed about a sagittal plane of the torso;
• and
• an abdominal tissue piece removably attachable to the abdominal wall surface, wherein at least one of the pair of rectus muscle pieces and the abdominal tissue piece are repositionable relative to one another on the torso to demonstrate at least one of an anatomic condition or a surgical procedure.
