The Embedded Biopsy Pad Model is a highly realistic surgical training simulator designed for practising biopsy procedures, ultrasound imaging and tissue dissection techniques.

This model replicates soft tissue anatomy beneath a dermis layer and includes embedded arteries, veins, nerves and cancer nodules positioned at varying depths. The model allows clinicians, trainees and students to practise locating and removing nodules while avoiding surrounding structures.

Simulation models provide a safe and repeatable training environment that supports the development of clinical accuracy and procedural confidence. The embedded biopsy pad allows users to practise biopsy techniques using imaging tools such as ultrasound while improving surgical precision.

These training models are commonly used in medical schools, surgical training laboratories and clinical education programmes to teach biopsy procedures and advanced tissue handling techniques.

Training Applications

This surgical biopsy simulator can be used for training and evaluation of multiple procedures including:

• Ultrasound-guided biopsy procedures
• Tumour localisation and removal
• Surgical dissection training
• Oncology surgical training
• End-to-end and end-to-side anastomosis practice
• Vascular and general surgery training
• Imaging-guided surgical procedures
• Clinical skills development

The model enables users to practise identifying and removing cancer nodules while avoiding nearby vessels and nerves.

Tissue Features

The biopsy pad is engineered to simulate the tactile response of human soft tissue and embedded anatomical structures.

Key features include:

• Embedded arteries, veins and nerves
• Multiple soft and hard tumour nodules
• Realistic dermis layer
• Compatible with ultrasound imaging
• Ready to use with surgical instruments
• Easy to handle and maintain
• Non-toxic and biohazard-free material
• Odourless reusable simulation model

These features allow trainees to practise realistic surgical procedures with repeatable training outcomes.
