TISSUE EQUIVALENT ULTRASOUND PROSTATE PHANTOM MODEL 053 - THE IDEAL TRAINING DEVICE FOR ULTRASOUND GUIDED PROCEDURES

Tissue Equivalent Ultrasound Prostate Phantom

The ideal training device for  ultrasound guided procedures

Model 053 (option A shown) The CIRS Model 053 Ultrasound Prostate Training Phantom is a disposable phantom developed for practicing procedures which involve scanning the prostate with a rectal probe. The prostate along with structures simulating the rectal wall, seminal vesicles and urethra is contained within an 11.5 cm X 7.0 cm X 9.5 cm clear acrylic container. A 3 mm simulated perineal membrane enables various probes and surgical tools to be inserted into the prostate. This phantom is an ideal training device for ultrasound guided cryosurgery, radioactive seed implantation, and needle biopsy.
