Abstract
Described herein are anatomical models for medical training, surgical planning, or patient demonstration. The anatomical models include a replica of a target body part that may be altered, unfinished, or deformed so that an anatomical component may be attached thereto to complete the replica and provide visual training with respect to symmetry and other aspects of medical or surgical procedures. For example, the anatomical models may be altered, unfinished, or deformed to simulate a post-surgical deformity. Systems and methods including the anatomical models are also described herein.
Claims30
An anatomical model for medical or surgical education and training, surgical planning, or patient demonstration comprising a three-dimensional replica of a body part, the three-dimensional replica comprising a mounting area in an altered, unfinished, or deformed portion of the replica, wherein the replica is configured for completion by attaching or forming a simulated anatomical component of the body part onto the mounting area.
An anatomical model for breast surgery training, planning, and demonstration comprising a three-dimensional replica of a female torso, the three-dimensional replica comprising a mounting area in an altered, deformed, or unfinished portion of the female torso simulating a post-surgical change of a breast, wherein the replica is configured for completion by sculpting a simulated breast onto the mounting area or reforming the post-surgical change of the breast.
A system for modeling a body part comprising:
- an adjustable base;
- a three-dimensional replica of the body part for coupling to the adjustable base, the three-dimensional replica comprising a mounting area;
- and
- one or more materials configured to simulate an anatomical component of the body part.
A method comprising:
- creating a three-dimensional replica of a body part, the three-dimensional replica comprising a mounting area in an altered, unfinished, or deformed portion of the replica;
- and
- completing the replica by attaching a first simulated anatomical component of the body part to the mounting area.
