Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (LEP) Model
Laser Enucleation of the Prostate is performed on patients with urinary problems caused by an enlarged prostate, which is common in older men. The LEP models helps to train medical professionals on the steps of this procedure and how to overcome its challenges. Learn more about this model.
Transperineal Prostate Biopsy (TPBx) Model
Prostate biopsies are ultrasound-guided procedures done to remove tissue samples from the prostate to test for prostate cancer. The transperineal approach has grown in popularity over recent years, but its learning curve is higher than the transrectal approach. Learn more about this model.
Patient-Specific Models
Patient specific models are used for a variety of reasons. Surgeons use them to discuss surgical approaches before a procedure as well as to educate their patients on the procedure they’ll be undergoing. Learn more about this model.
