Embedded Great Saphenous Vein Model

The LifeLike Embedded Great Saphenous Vein Model is a realistic and affordable solution designed for the acquisition, retention, and perfection of basic and advanced vascular and cardiac surgical skills.

 

This model features a long, solid 4 mm Ø saphenous vein embedded in soft tissue below a dermis layer. The vessel has 2 mm Ø side branches protruding at various angles along the length of the model to be removed while extracting the vein. Combined with the GSV Base, this model is perfect for learning and practicing ultrasound and imagining techniques and great saphenous vein harvesting using endoscopic CO2 devices, as well as other basic and advanced cardiac and vascular surgery skills.

 

FEELS AND BEHAVES LIKE REAL TISSUE!

 

*MADE TO ORDER

Applications:

This model provides an excellent platform for mastering the vein harvesting techniques integral to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). It enables trainees to replicate the intricate steps of extracting the great saphenous vein, preparing it for use as a graft, and understanding its application as a conduit for bypassing blocked coronary arteries. This practical experience enhances surgical confidence and skill while familiarizing trainees with challenges such as preserving vein integrity and managing side branches during the harvesting process.

 

  • Train, practice, and evaluate great saphenous vein harvesting skills using an endoscopic CO2 harvesting device or open surgery, as well as other basic and advanced cardiac or vascular surgery techniques.
