Gastric Defect Specimen

Standard Porcine ex-vivo esophagus-stomach-duodenum specimen with EMR type defects

• Perforation Closure

• Clipping

• Suturing

ERCP NeoPapilla Cartridge

Cartridge (hybrid) ERCP model with porcine ex-vivo duodenum with an artificial major papilla made of chicken heart tissue.

The artificial papilla allows access to the common bile duct and pancreatic duct. The exchange of the chicken heart allows the performance of multiple sphincterotomies in the same specimen. The chicken heart tissue can be exchanged within 30 seconds.

• Diagnostic and therapeutic ERCP

• Multiple spincterotomies in the same specimen

• 15-20 Chicken heart papillae with each specimen cartridge!

ERCP Native Biliary

Porcine ex-vivo esophagus-stomach-duodenum-biliary tract-liver-gallbladder specimen.

This complete biliary model contains the native (unaltered) biliary tract including major duodenal papilla, common bile duct, cystic duct, gallbladder, and intrahepatic ducts. Please note that the porcine major papilla does not have a common confluence of common bile duct and pancreatic duct. In the native porcine specimen, the pancreatic duct enters the duodenum at the minor papilla, separate from the common bile duct.

• Diagnostic and therapeutic ERCP

• One sphincterotomy per specimen

Balloon Enteroscopy Specimen

Porcine ex-vivo esophagus, stomach, duodenum and 5-6 feet of small bowel (ileum)

• Single balloon enteroscopy

• Double balloon enteroscopy

EUS Complete Specimen

Complete porcine ex-vivo upper GI tract model with esophagus, stomach, duodenum, liver, pancreas, and kidneys. The aorta can be perfused with a roller pump system to simulate Doppler. Optional pathologies on request for additional cost

• Diagnostic and therapeutic EUS

• EUS-FNA of pancreatic pseudocysts

• EUS-FNA of artificial tumors in the esophagus, stomach and liver

• EUS-guided cystogastrostomy

• Customizable

EUS Task Trainer

EUS cartridge model with pancreatic cyst, esophageal tumors and gastric mass

• Therapeutic EUS

• EUS-FNA of target lesions

• EUS-FNA of pancreatic pseudocysts

Twisted Sleeve

Porcine ex-vivo esophagus-stomach-duodenum specimen with altered anatomy resembling the status post laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy

• Twisted sleeve model realistically simulates a gastric volvulus as a complication of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy

This model has the NeoPapilla attachment that allows sphincterotomy and therapeutic ERCP.

• EGD and ERCP in Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Anatomy

Proctoscopy

Cartridge model of a porcine ex-vivo anus and rectum

• Proctoscopy

• Hemorrhoid ligation

• Anal sphincter repair
