A series of three models representing the different locations in which the vermiform appendix is to be found. Trainees will move on from the Surgical Dissection Pads (50118, 50114) to this progressive 3 stage appendices suite:

• Normal represents 32% of locations
• Post-ileal represents 1% of locations
• Retrocaecal represents 64% of locations

All models are designed for the laparoscopic removal of the appendix and have an additional feature; presentation of a simulated peptic ulcer for closure using peritoneum and mesentry.

Features

• Highly realistic model of appendix, caecum, and ileum stump presented anatomically
