SiMPEDIA’s Open Appendicectomy simulator offers a highly realistic environment for performing simulated appendicectomies.

Developed with advanced soft tissue technology, it provides an authentic tactile experience designed to closely replicate human anatomy.

The simulator features:

• Anatomically correct abdominal wall layers, to support lifelike training experiencing to access abdominal cavity.

• High-fidelity structures, including the mesoappendix, a blood-filled appendicular artery and an inflamed appendix containing faecolith and pus.

• Realistic bowel anatomy with full-thickness ileum and caecum, incorporating all four layers: mucosa, submucosa, muscularis propria, and serosa.

• Compatibility with suturing and stapling devices, enabling training in a broad range of procedures such as enterotomy formation and closure, ileocolic anastomosis and ileal-ileal anastomosis.

Two anatomical variations are available to suit different training levels:

• Free sub-ileal/pelvic appendix – ideal for foundational skills.

• Retrocaecal appendix with dense adhesions – designed to challenge and refine advanced techniques.

This versatile and high-fidelity model is an essential tool for surgical educators and trainees looking to master laparoscopic appendicectomy.
