DASIE Surgical Training Tools

Dedicated to improved medical training
through the use of non-animal models

The DASIE is a hollow cylinder made of various layers of laminated polyurethane foam rubber with rectangular reinforcement blocks in the ends.  The multiple layers of the outer shell are designed to be cut, handled and sutured individually, much like the skin, subcutaneous tissue and the various layers of the abdominal wall.  Red strings are incorporated within the subcutaneous layer to simulate blood vessels that are transected by an  incision.  These mock vessels can be grasped with hemostatic forceps and ligated.  A length of hollow polyurethane foam ‘intestine’ is contained within each model's lumen.  This intestinal tube can be incised, transected, sutured, or anastomosed to model urogenital or gastrointestinal surgery.  The DASIE can be used on all it’s surface allowing for multiple incisions and practice sessions.

The DASIE is now available for purchase for $29.95 CDN per unit plus applicable taxes, duties and shipping costs.  For more information or to place an order, please contact DASIE surgical training tools at dasiesurgery@yahoo.ca
