Coronary artery model for anastomosis technique training
We provide doctors who hold a needle holder for the first time with a path to master basic surgical techniques that will enable them to perform surgeries in the clinical setting as soon as possible.
This is a simulated blood vessel for surgical training that supports that passion.
FEATURES
YOUCAN allows for high model reproducibility and selective reproduction of physical properties, so you can practice basic procedures repeatedly, establish a procedure design, or perform surgery anytime, anywhere, and to confirm the effectiveness of your own training. This is a groundbreaking simulated blood vessel for surgical training that can speed up the learning of practical skills by quantitatively evaluating skills.

7 points
It has a self-expanding function that allows the blood vessel to open circumferentially when the recipient side of the coronary artery is incised. This creates an incision just like a blower, allowing one person to perform the anastomosis procedure. This function is manufactured using BM's patented technology.
The blood vessel has a multilayered structure in order to reproduce the contrast between the inside and outside of the blood vessel and the physical properties suitable for anastomosis practice. By controlling the physical properties of the inner, middle, and outer layers, it is possible to mold a model that is ideal for surgical training.
It is impossible to create a model that is exactly equivalent to human tissue properties in Dry Lab. However, it is possible to reproduce the "key elements" required for training in vascular anastomosis techniques. EBM's YOUCAN has achieved high reproducibility by focusing on "elastic modulus" and "tear strength when applied with a needle" and repeating basic experiments. All YOUCAN products undergo a quality inspection before shipment, and only those products that pass are shipped.
YOUCAN is based on silicone rubber, and uses original raw materials produced through unique combinations and formulations. Conventional products are sold using materials such as PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) in order to reproduce a "wet feeling" or "realistic feeling", but these models lose their physical properties due to drying and changes over time. It's not stable. YOUCAN places emphasis on the stability of its materials, taking into consideration the shelf life of inventory items and usability for evaluation research purposes.
YOUCAN can be used not only for coronary artery bypass surgery training in cardiovascular surgery, but also for general surgical training including vascular surgery. In particular, YOUCAN can be used as is for training in vascular surgery and neurosurgery.
YOUCAN can also be used alone. When combined with a tabletop microscope, training in vascular anastomosis techniques in neurosurgery is also possible. Due to its simple shape, it can be used in a variety of ways depending on your ingenuity. Please feel free to share your new uses and ideas at academic conferences, papers, etc.
By attaching YOUCAN to BEAT, you can perform anastomosis training in a realistic surgical environment. For doctors who are busy with clinical work, the biggest cost is time. Of course, YOUCAN can be used alone, but please combine it with BEAT to maximize the training effect.
Combination with other products
By using BEAT in conjunction with YOUCAN, surgical training that reproduces the pulsation of coronary arteries is possible.

PURPOSE
YOUCAN allows for high model reproducibility and selective reproduction of physical properties, so it is possible to repeatedly practice basic techniques, establish a technique design,
It is expected to be used in a variety of situations, such as quantitative evaluation of surgical skills to confirm the effectiveness of your own training.
In addition, the number of teachers who are working hard every day to improve their anastomosis techniques has been rapidly increasing since 2010.
We recommend purchasing YOUCAN + BEAT for individuals as it can be done without taking up much space.
Usage example
BEAT supports teachers in maintaining and improving their skills at any stage, including initial training, later training, and training to become a specialist. The role of Dry lab and BEAT is to repeatedly practice basic techniques. Please use BEAT "for the coming day" so that you can respond whenever a clinical opportunity arises.
During the polyclinic training for fifth-year medical students, students also rotate to surgical departments. By not only observing surgeries, but also providing practical training using simulators, students can realize from an early stage how interesting and profound surgery is, and create opportunities for them to become more interested in surgery. can. Please use it in conjunction with training-specific sutures.
Companies and universities can become sponsors and hold surgical technique contests. By holding such meetings regularly, you can improve motivation. It has been well received as a lively project, especially at U-40 and local meetings.
Verifying the effectiveness of surgical training and quantifying the learning curve are hot topics of research worldwide. Utilizing the simulator environment, which has no individual differences and is reproducible, it is possible to conduct medical research in new fields, such as quantifying surgical skills and establishing efficient training methods. To date, we have received inquiries from many companies, doctors, and research institutions regarding surgical training research and quantitative evaluation of procedures. In some cases, this has led to joint research.
