Practice Makes Perfect: Master Transvaginal Cerclage Suturing
The MedicFX Cervical Cerclage Model offers obstetrics trainees and specialists an unparalleled training experience for mastering the delicate procedure of transvaginal cervical cerclage. This includes practice in the commonly used McDonald cerclage and the more specialised rescue cerclage.
This highly realistic model replicates the anatomy of the female reproductive system, providing a lifelike platform for practicing various transvaginal cerclage suturing techniques. The model features three interchangeable plugs representing different stages and sizes of cervical dilation, allowing for comprehensive training across various clinical scenarios. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail by skilled special effects makeup artists, the silicone construction mimics the feel and texture of real tissue, enhancing the realism of the training experience.
Unlike static models, the MedicFX Cervical Cerclage Model is designed with realistic movement. While securely clamp-able to a table for stability, the model retains flexibility, allowing trainees to practice suturing in a dynamic environment that closely simulates a real patient encounter. This feature is crucial for developing proper technique and building muscle memory.
Master Key Transvaginal Cerclage Placement Skills
This model allows trainees to develop competency in essential transvaginal cerclage suturing skills, including:
Proper Cervical Visualisation: The realistic anatomy facilitates accurate identification and visualisation of the cervix, essential for all transvaginal cerclage procedures.
Instrument Handling: Practice calling for and utilising the correct instruments, including needle drivers and appropriate suture.
Needle Loading: Develop proficiency in loading the needle onto the needle driver.
Stitch Placement: Master the precise placement of the characteristic "purse-string" suture, placed around the cervix.
Surgical Knot Tying: Practice properly placing surgical knots, a crucial step in securing any transvaginal cerclage.
Four Interchangeable Cervical Plugs: Representing varying stages of cervical dilation, including advanced dilatation, these plugs provide a comprehensive training experience.
Developed in collaboration with a leading academic obstetrician specialising in high-risk pregnancies and preterm birth: This model provides exceptional anatomical accuracy and lifelike tactile feedback. This collaboration ensures the model effectively replicates the clinical realities of cervical cerclage procedures.
Dynamic Movement: Allows for realistic practice in a dynamic environment, enhancing skill development.
Clamp-able for Stability: Can be securely clamped to a table for a stable working surface.
Durable and Long-lasting: Made with high-quality materials to withstand repeated use.
Cost-Effective Training Solution: Provides a valuable training tool at a fraction of the cost of using cadavers or live tissue.
New Zealand Made:Designed and manufactured by MedicFX, a trusted name in medical simulation.
