Midface Surgical Simulation Model

Midface Surgical Simulation Model

Our Midface Surgical Simulation Model provides realistic anatomical representations to refine endonasal surgical precision, offering hands-on practice for surgeons at all levels. Designed with intricate geometry, these models feature a removable cartridge insert containing nasal sinus anatomy essential for Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS). They offer a cost-effective training solution, with additional cartridges sold separately, allowing for versatile and continuous practice. New pathology cartridges will also be compatible with the Midface Surgical Simulation Model.

Each Midface Surgical Simulation Model model includes one cartridge.

Full Midface with rotatable mount and cartridge: R6 000 / $335 / £250 / €296
Replaceable cartridge (each): R3 960 / $220 / £165 / €196

Description

Our Midface Surgical Simulation Model is designed to enhance endonasal surgical precision, providing valuable hands-on experience for surgeons at any stage of training. Created using advanced additive manufacturing, these models replicate complex anatomical structures and provide a practical endoscopic training platform.

Key features include a removable cartridge insert that contains all the nasal sinus anatomy relevant for Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS). Each model is supplied with a cartridge, but additional cartridges can be purchased separately, making surgical training more affordable and efficient.

Unlike cadaveric dissection, these models eliminate the need for wet labs, allowing for a more controlled and repeatable training environment. They enable pathology-specific practice, cost savings, and tangible outcomes that surgeons can reference long after their training.

The Midface Surgical Simulation Model supports a variety of surgical procedures, including uncinectomy, septoplasty, and optic nerve decompression, and includes an extensive range of anatomical structures such as the sphenoid bone, maxilla, and olfactory fossa.

Enhance your training

Be sure to add extra cartridges to your cart! These cartridges enable you to practice multiple procedures without purchasing a new model, making your training more versatile and cost-effective. As our library of pathology cartridges expands, new variations will remain compatible with the base Midface Surgical Simulation Model, ensuring access to up-to-date training materials for a continuously evolving surgical education.

Advantages over cadaveric dissection

• No wet lab dependency – Convenient handling with no need for cadaver disposal.
• Pathology-specific training – Target the procedures you need to master instead of relying on random cases.
• Cost-effective and realistic – A clean, affordable, and highly detailed alternative to traditional training methods.
• Ownership and long-term use – Unlike cadaveric specimens, you retain a tangible model for continued reference and appreciation.
