Urology Surgical Models
EndoSim recently developed multiple novel cystoscopy models for the training of transurethral procedures. These models use porcine bladder tissue with altered anatomy to resemble a human urethra and cystic bladder. Artificial tumors can be created in the cystic wall to simulate transurethral ablation techniques. Bleeding can be simulated with the creation of artificial vessels in the bladder wall.
Our simulation models use two components: a plastic trainer (hardware) used in conjunction with a disposable ex-vivo specimen (software). Some disposable specimens are hybrid models combining plastic, silicon with real tissue. These types of models are single-use disables.
Our specimens and trainer rentals are shipped express for on-time and fresh arrival. All specimens are shipped frozen and will require thawing and refrigerated storage upon arrival.
Custom specimens are available! Please contact us if you are interested in a custom-made specimen for your hands-on workshop.
UroEASIE Simulator
The UroEASIE (TM) allows the realistic simulation of interventional cystoscopy and ureteroscopy procedures by using real tissue ex-vivo organ packages. These specimens are obtained from the meat production industry and provide a realistic tactile feedback with the possibility to use commercially available urological devices.
Vesical Tumor Specimen
Porcine urethra and bladder (modified to resemble human anatomy). Artificial tumors are created in the bladder wall
Cystoscopic resection of bladder tumors
Vesical Bleeding Specimen

TURP Specimen
Porcine urethra, bladder and enlarged prostate (modified to resemble human anatomy)
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)
Transurethral Prostatectomy Simulation Specimen
EndoSim has developed a model to simulate transurethral prostatectomy. This real tissue ex-vivo model contains an artificial prostate gland which can be used for laparoscopic and robotic TURP.
