Training station for surgical procedures
View Patent ↗The present invention refers to a training station for surgical procedures comprising a model of an anatomical structure, a three-dimensional digital model of the anatomical structure and a work base. The model of the anatomical structure is obtained through diagnostic images of a patient and provides a replica of the anatomical conformation including bone, cartilage and skin. The three-dimensional digital model allows a training station user to interact with a virtual representation of the model of an anatomical structure through augmented reality and/or virtual reality systems.
1. A training station for surgical procedures comprising:
a model of an anatomical structure,
a three-dimensional digital model of the model of an anatomical structure, and
a work base,
where the model of an anatomical structure corresponds to an equivalent anatomical conformation of a patient and is made up of materials that simulate bones, cartilage and skin;
wherein the three-dimensional digital model of the model of an anatomical structure allows a training station user to interact with a representation of the model of an anatomical structure through augmented reality systems and/or virtual reality; and
where the work base has a clamp system for fixing the work base to the surface on which the training is carried out, and also has an adjustable multifunction wedge for modifying an angle of the model during training;
wherein the model of an anatomical structure comprises a bone structure, a cartilaginous structure and a soft tissue structure;
wherein the model of an anatomical structure comprises a soft tissue structure which includes nasal mucosa, muscle, fat and skin;
wherein the model of an anatomical structure comprises nylon meshes located between the material that simulates cartilage and the material that simulates muscle;
wherein the nylon mesh is included in the caudal and anterior part of the cartilage using a polyaddition curing adhesive;
wherein the nylon mesh is integrated into the nasal mucosa that covers the septal cartilage.
2. The training station according to claim 1 , wherein the model of an anatomical structure is obtained from diagnostic images from computed tomography.
3. The training station according to claim 1 , wherein the model of an anatomical structure comprises a soft tissue structure which is composed of silicone rubbers.
4. The training station according to claim 1 , wherein the model of an anatomical structure is of a head or neck structure selected from the group comprising pinna, temporal bone, lower or upper maxilla, or nasal structure.
5. The training station according to claim 1 , wherein the model of an anatomical structure is a nasal model.
6. The training station according to claim 1 , wherein the work base comprises a rail coupling, a mounting base and a clamp system.
7. The training station according to claim 1 , wherein the work base includes a rail coupling which comprises a multifunction wedge to change an inclination about an axis of the rail coupling.
8. The training station according to claim 1 , wherein the work base further comprises a bridge that includes a mounting system for instruments.
