Abstract
This invention is directed to an artificial tissue comprising a formable composition comprising a hydrogel, an electrolyte, and combustible fibers, said composition being useful for modeling organs, parts of organs, or systems of organs. The artificial tissue exhibits properties allowing training of special surgical techniques, particularly those making use of surgical high-frequency effects.
Claims19
An artificial tissue for surgery training, characterized by a formable composition comprising a hydrogel, an electrolyte, and combustible fibers, characterized in that said hydrogel contains agar and water and further characterized by the admixture of colorants so as to simulate the colors of natural tissue.
An artificial tissue for surgery training, characterized by a formable composition comprising a hydrogel, an electrolyte, and combustible fibers, characterized in that said hydrogel contains gelatin and water and further characterized by the admixture of glycerol for purposes of preservation.
An artificial organ for surgery training formed at least in part of tissue characterized by a formable composition comprising a hydrogel, an electrolyte, and combustible fibers, characterized in that said hydrogel contains agar and water and further characterized in that said organ is formed at least in part by a plurality of tissues of different mixing ratios.
An artificial organ for surgery training formed at least in part of tissue characterized by a formable composition comprising a hydrogel, an electrolyte, and combustible fibers, characterized in that said hydrogel contains gelatin and water and further characterized in that said organ is formed at least in part by a plurality of tissues of different mixing ratios.
