Open Inguinal Hernia

SiMPEDIA’s Inguinal Hernia simulator enables realistic simulation of open inguinal hernia repair, including both direct and indirect hernias, as well as femoral hernia repair, with mesh placement.

Designed with SiMPEDIA’s gastrointestinal surgical experts for high-fidelity surgical training, the model features:

  • Anatomically accurate abdominal wall layers, supports targeted training in layer-by-layer dissection to access the inguinal canal.

  • Spermatic cord and associated structure with a realistic hernia sac requiring careful dissection.

  • A direct hernia with herniated bowel that prompts intra-operative decision making, reduction and closure

This advanced simulator provides an immersive, hands-on experience ideal for developing and refining open hernia repair techniques in a controlled, repeatable setting.

  • Open Direct Inguinal Hernia Repair
  • Open Indirect Inguinal Hernia Repair
  • Open Femoral Hernia Repair
