Patent ID: 11132921

Abstract:
A surgical eye model assembly for simulating eye surgery using surgical tools includes a spherical surgical body formed of material which can be readily cut using the surgical tools so as to be representative of an ocular globe. A plurality of suspension arms extend radially outward from the surgical body in proximity to the rear side at circumferentially spaced apart locations about the central axis to suspend the surgical body relative to the a rigid base frame. Elongate strands of resilient material are tensioned about the surgical body to represent muscular strands. A sheet of resilient material surrounds the body and strands to be representative of a conjunctiva layer. Lubricant is provided as a layer about the strands and between the sheet and the body. Resilient material can also form in loosely bonded layers to define additional structures surrounding the body to represent a lens, vascular structures, eyelids, etc.
