Patent number: 10937338Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods appropriate for use in medical training using a patient simulator and various anatomical inserts. One such system generally includes a patient simulator and an anatomical insert, the patient simulator including a simulated vascular system, and the anatomical insert being fluidically couplable to the simulated vascular system and including a simulated artery and a simulated vein. When the anatomical insert is fluidically coupled to the simulated vascular system, the simulated vascular system is adapted to pressurize the simulated artery and the simulated vein with a blood-like fluid to simulate natural arteries and veins. Moreover, when the simulated vascular system pressurizes the simulated artery and the simulated vein with the blood-like fluid, the simulated vascular system is adapted to provide a pulsatile flow of the blood-like fluid to the simulated artery and a steady flow of the blood-like fluid to the simulated vein.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2018Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: GAUMARD SCIENTIFIC COMPANY, INC.Inventor: Siobhain Lowe

Patent number: 10074292Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods appropriate for use in medical training using a patient simulator, various anatomical inserts, and an integrated camera and computer system are disclosed. In some instances, a surgical simulator is provided that includes a uterine assembly. The uterine assembly simulates the appearance and feel of natural tissue and includes a plurality of materials arranged and dimensioned to simulate anatomic structures such as a right fallopian tube, a left fallopian tube, a right ovary, a left ovary, a uterus having a cervix, a bladder, ureters, a peritoneum, a uterine artery, a uterine vein, a plurality of ligaments, an ovarian artery, an ovarian vein, a perineum, and a vagina. In some implementations, at least the uterine artery, uterine vein, ovarian artery, and ovarian vein are in communication with a fluid supply such that each is pressurized with a blood-like fluid to simulate natural arteries and veins.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2015Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: GAUMARD SCIENTIFIC COMPANY, INC.Inventor: Siobhain Lowe

Patent number: 9959784Abstract: Simulated pregnant abdominal systems and associated devices, systems, and methods are provided. The pregnant abdominal systems allow an interactive scenario simulating a routine gestation palpation of a fetal baby, the performance of an external cephalic version as well as the Leopold's Maneuvers. Further, the pregnant abdominal systems can be used as a platform to physically hear the fetus heartbeat using stethoscope, Doppler instrument, or a prenatal monitor. Further, in some implementations the fetus can be visualized using standard ultrasound systems.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2017Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: GAUMARD SCIENTIFIC COMPANY, INC.Inventors: Siobhain Lowe, Christine M.
