Medical training apparatus

Abstract

A self contained medical training apparatus comprises a portable case defining a work space simulating a body cavity and having a port to allow introduction of a medical instrument to the working space from externally of the working space. A carousel is rotationally mounted in the working space for rotating the carousel to select angular positions for performing a series of simulated medical procedures. A plurality of modules are mounted around a perimeter of the carousel. Each module comprises a different task upon which an associated medical procedure can be performed with a medical instrument. A plurality of sensors are each operatively associated with one of the modules for sensing progress of the associated medical procedure. A control unit is coupled to the sensors for monitoring progress of the medical procedures and providing an indication of status of the medical procedures.
