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…
