TissueDB/Tissues/Ducts
(Redirected from TissueDB/Tissues/Fallopian Tubes)
Ducts are tube-like, hollow structures lined with epithelial cells that transport bodily fluids, secretions, or waste from a gland or organ to a specific target area or the exterior of the body. They are far more than passive pipes; they frequently modify the fluids passing through them.
Materials
| Material | Visual | Tactile | Simulator | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coloured elastic loop (Ethiloops or lanyard) | – | – | Pediatric Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair Simulator (Duboureau) | One coloured elastic loop (e.g. Ethiloops or a lanyard) set inside the bottle neck as the vas deferens, colour-coded against the testicular artery to train duct-versus-vessel discrimination.[1] |
| Central venous catheter segment (9.5 Fr) | – | – | Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair Simulator (Hanssen) | A 9.5 Fr central venous catheter segment stands in for the vas deferens, bundled with the epigastric and spermatic vessel wires inside the spermatic-cord assembly.[2] |
| White elastic cord | – | – | Pediatric Inguinal Hernia Repair Simulator (Heo) | White elastic cord secured to the hernia sac with rubber cement as the vas deferens during male-cartridge (POLISHeR) assembly.[3] |
| Silicon urethral tubing | - | - | Urinary Catheterization Simulator (Gillis) | A 178 mm × 7 mm silicon urethral tube (one length, reusable until perforation), sized to adult-male urethral parameters. Its proximal end seats on a curved barbed FDM-printed PLA connector at the SLA-printed Grey Pro one-way bladder-neck valve; that valve gives the modest mechanical resistance the source authors describe as "representative of breaching the internal urethral sphincter on a real patient". This is the path along which the Foley catheter is passed.[4] |
| Penrose drain segment (or a small plastic glove if unavailable, per source) | Laparoscopic Ectopic Pregnancy Simulator | Forms the fallopian tube body; the ends are slit to make the fimbriae, and the body holds the playdough ectopic mass that is the suturing target for laparoscopic salpingostomy practice. |
