Reuseable Temperature Responsive Surgical Simulation Models
TS-004618 — A reusable silicone model that utilizes temperature responsive pigments to mimic tissue reactions to heat. This model can be used in medical training simulations of procedures that involve heat, such as laser ablation therapy.
Temperature responsive pigments can be mixed with a base material and undergo a visual color change when a threshold temperature is reached. The temperature sensitive pigments are commercially available for use in cosmetics; however, have not previously been utilized in medical simulations. Here, us…

Surgical Simulation Myelomeningocele Repair
TS-004595 — Accurate anatomical modeling for pediatric and neurosurgical training courses are limited and slow to develop, but this silicone model represents MMC and allows for fetoscopic or open surgical repair practice. To improve patient outcomes and provide visual and tactile feedback for surgeons, the model displays all releveant anatomical layers to provide dissection and closure practice.
Meningomyelocele (MMC) is a rare birth defect that affects the spinal cord. It limits walking mobility and requires a ventriculoperitoneal shunt to manage hydrocephalus (a buildup of cerebrospinal fluid) and excess head pressure. If left untreated, it can lead to enlarged heads in infants or brain h…
