SIMULATED ABDOMINAL CAVITY FOR LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY

摘要

A simulated abdominal cavity for laparoscopic surgery including a support stand having a base plate and a pair of spaced apart vertical brackets, a cylinder mounted to the support stand between the vertical brackets to simulate an abdominal cavity volume, an end cap mounted to a top end of the cylinder to seal the cylinder, a piston operatively associated with an interior of the cylinder to affect a volume of a simulated abdominal cavity, an actuator operatively associated with the base plate and the piston to simulate breathing and a pressure transducer operatively associated with the piston, whereby the piston is adapted and configured to simulate changes in volume and pressure within an abdominal cavity as it is stroked up and down by the actuator.
