The 'Vascular Tissue Model' includes two layers capturing the physical properties of fat and epidermis. The model also features two hollow tubes mimicking blood vessels in the middle of the layers. This model was developed for the Royal College of Surgeons to be used in the "Core Skills in Laparoscopic Surgery" course.
Vascular Tissue Model
Our artificial models behave just like real tissues but without biological hazard complications, so they can be disposed of as normal waste.
Once opened, the tissue should be stored hydrated, with saline ideally.
To ensure the longevity of the material, it should be kept refridgerated, although it is fine to leave it at room temperature for a few days at a time.
Finally, the material should be handled with gloves and washed with mild soap and water after each use were possible.
