Outline
This anatomically accurate model faithfully replicates the adult male urethra, from the orificium urethrae internum at the bladder's base to the orificium urethrae externum at the penis tip. Its realistic dimensions and detailed structure, including the prostate, pars membranacea, and spongiose part, make it an ideal tool for visualizing, palpating and simulating.
Skills Gained
· Familiar with the anatomy
· Male catheterization
Features
· Visualizing: Gain a comprehensive understanding of the male urethra's anatomy and its relationship to surrounding structures.
· Palpating: Practice locating key landmarks like the prostate and external urethral meatus to improve tactile skills for catheterization.
· Simulating: Hone your catheterization technique in a safe and realistic environment. The model's clear plastic tube allows visualization of the catheter's path through the urethra, providing valuable feedback and promoting confidence for real-world applications.
Serves as a valuable learning tool to:
· Develop dexterity: Practice inserting and manipulating the catheter through the simulated urethra, improving hand-eye coordination and motor skills.
· Identify potential challenges: Learn to recognize and navigate anatomical variations and potential obstacles during catheterization.
· Enhance student engagement: Make learning about male urogenital anatomy and catheterization an interactive and engaging experience for students of all levels.
