Patent ID: 11636782

Abstract:
An anatomical teaching model can be used to demonstrate principles of breast and/or abdominal surgical procedures. The model can include a female-shaped torso, a pectoralis major muscle piece attachable to the chest wall surface, and a breast tissue piece is positionable over the pectoralis major muscle piece. The model can further include a pair of rectus muscle pieces attachable to the abdominal wall surface and an abdominal tissue piece positionable over the pair of rectus muscle pieces. The pair of rectus muscle pieces have two sections of material positionable symmetrically about a sagittal plane of the female-shaped torso. Relative positions of the pair of rectus muscle pieces and the abdominal tissue piece are manipulable to permit a clinician to demonstrate at least one of a female anatomy, a surgical procedure to the female anatomy, or a condition resulting from the surgical procedure.
