VATS Trainer with Mimetic Lung (#8005)

View Brochure Designed for refining thoracoscopic skills, the VATS Trainer with Mimetic Lung is a right hemi-thorax with incisable skin/muscle layer and spreadable ribs. The replaceable lung, derived from patient CT data, includes blunt-dissectible parenchyma and a main bronchus, vein and artery in each of the three lobes for individual dissection and ligation.

Trainer includes:

• Rigid hemi-thorax providing a shoulder landmark and access to the skin of the right thorax
• Incisable skin/muscle layer (#8007) through which the ribs may be palpated for port placement
• Hemi-ribcage with spreadable ribs derived from patient CT dataset
• Two mimetic lungs with staple-compatible artery, vein and bronchus for each of the three lobes. The lung parenchyma may be blunt-dissected to reveal these structures. Vessels are fluid-filled and ooze blood if improperly handled. Available in Full (#8006) or Collapsed (#8011) versions.
• Trainer base with diaphragm, spine, and fluid drain
• Effluence tray
