DEMONSTRATION DEVICES FOR MEDICAL PROCEDURES

摘要

A demonstration model assembly having an anatomical model structure (20) tha t is stabilized by a support (12) in a relatively compact area on a stable surface is provided. The anatomical model structure is a reproduction of a patient's anatomy, preferably the vertebral column, that is at least partial ly and removably embedded in a support. Also provided is a demonstration platfo rm adapted to simulate surgical operating room conditions, such as an operating table with side rails and the like. The simulated operating room conditions facilitate the demonstration of various surgical techniques. The demonstrati on platform may also act as a container and a transporting device for the instruments and other materials used in the demonstration with the side rail s acting as handles for the demonstration platform.
