Filed:

Nov 23, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/684417

Inventors:

Christopher Sakezles - Tampa FL, US

International Classification:

G09B 23/30

US Classification:

434272, 434274

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are anatomic models that comprise components that simulate human or non-human animal components. The models may be used for development, experimentation, or training in the field of orthopedic surgical devices, and/or implant devices. The models may also be used for training of students in the medical field for procedures performed in practice, such as for example drawing blood from a patient, or placing a central line in a carotid artery of a patient. In exemplary embodiments, the models comprise structures such as cartilage, tendons, ligaments, organs, luminal structures, and muscles that are made of hydrogel materials.

Appl. No.:

15/621591

Inventors:

Christopher Sakezles - Tampa FL, US

International Classification:

G09B 23/34
G09B 23/30
G09B 23/28

Abstract:

An artificial anatomical model used in an embodiment as a simulation and training device for performing a cricothyroidotomy procedure on a patient having an upper airway obstruction is provided. Furthermore, the simulation device includes a mandible and neck base structure that geometrically mimicsa human mandible and neck region with corresponding anatomical landmarks such that a cricothyroidotomy procedure can be performed on the device for training purposes in some embodiments. Moreover, various components of the device are easily removable and replaceable independent of one another, further simplifying the training process.

Appl. No.:

15/295947

Inventors:

Christopher Sakezles - Tampa FL, US

International Classification:

G09B 23/30

Abstract:

An anatomical simulation training device is disclosed in an embodiment herein. The anatomical device includes an anatomical model comprising a quadrant of a torso. The model includes a first opening and a second opening, wherein a first passageway connects between the first and the second opening. The model further includes a third opening, wherein a second passageway connects between the third opening and the second opening. The first passageway is configured to receive a first conduit, and the second passageway is configured to receive a second conduit. The first and second conduits are removable and replaceable. The model is comprised of, in part or in whole, a hydrogel, and said model quadrant torso mimics at least a portion of a human or non-human animal quadrant torso, and simulates at least one predetermined physical characteristic of a human or non-human animal torso with at least fifty percent or more similarity.

International Classification:

G09B 23/28

Abstract:

Disclosed herein is a chest tube trainer model. Specifically exemplified is a an anatomical model for simulating at least a portion of a thorax that includes a rib portion removably secured to and supported by a base, the rib portion comprised in whole or in part of a hydrogel; and a securing member for holding the anatomical model onto a human; wherein the rib portion has a convex shape defining a space between the base and the rib portion, the space is adapted for receiving a bladder disposed between the rib portion and the base; and at least a portion of the base is formed from puncture resistant material.

Inventors:

Christopher Sakezles - St. Petersburg FL, US

International Classification:

G09B 23/28

US Classification:

434267000

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are synthetic anatomical models, methods of making and using same, that are designed to enable simulated use testing by medical device, pharmaceutial, and consumer product developers. These models are unique in possessing a level of complexity that allows them to be substituted for either a live animal, an animal cadaver, or a human cadaver in the testing of such products. These models are further characterized by a similarity of geometry, individual component physical properties, and component-to-component interfacial properties with the appropriate target tissue and anatomy. Specifically exemplified herein are models comprising living cells disposed in or on at least a portion thereof.
