Thoracic Phantoms

Thoracic medicine is challenging, which means that medical and paramedical staff must be well trained solidly for clinical interventions. Based on many years of training experience including large animal testing and human cadaver studies, MD2B is dedicated to reducing and refining clinical training for surgical and interventional teams. The realistic anatomical representation of the thorax by the MD2B thoracic phantoms allows the development and optimisation of new thoracic implants and their application procedures.

We present our currently available thoracic phantoms, ranging from adult to pediatric stages. The phantoms are also available as a rib phantoms and as a thoracic surgical phantom.

Our USP's:

Modular and reusable system
Phantoms are based on patient CT-data
Workflow-oriented design
Realistic cut and seam characteristics *
Differenze in age and gender
Synthetic organ system
Optional respiratory simulation

* Based on interviews with medical experts.

Our thoracic phantoms:

Otto

The male thorax of an adult.

Editha

The female thorax of an adult.

Luise

The female thorax of a teenager.

Leon

The male thorax of a child.

All phantoms are avaiable as:

Rib Phantom

The anatomically exact reproduction of several ribs of the chest wall enables the testing and training of rib osteosynthesis as part of clinical training courses or product demonstrations.

Thoracic Surgery Phantom

The phantom provides a realistic training environment for minimally invasive thoracic surgery (VATS/RATS). The phantom’s modular design of the phantom allows a smooth transition from pulmonary and pleural to chest wall procedures.

The Hemithorax Phantom consists of:

Outer body covering including surgical field made of artificial skin
Gender and age differentiated hemithorax derived from the chest phantoms “Otto”, “Editha”, “Luise” or “Leon”
Tissue component whose movement can be optionally simulated
