Apparatus for training for the performance of a medical procedure

Abstract

A training apparatus having a frame and a support assembly having a reconfigurable support surface in the form of a flexible sheet. A first connector on the support assembly is selectively releasably held on the frame in first and second positions. The support surface has a first configuration with the first connector in the first position and a second configuration with the first connector in the second position. At least one model is provided on the support surface upon which a procedure can be performed with an instrument to at least one of a) simulate a medical procedure and b) practice a movement that may be encountered in the performance of a medical procedure. The models are supported on the flexible sheet such that they are universally movable in a similar manner as are organs in human body cavities during medical procedures.
