Abstract: A synthetic surgical simulation system includes an anatomical structure comprising a hydrogel and at least 60% water and a tubular structure that is configured to at least partially vaporize, seal, and/or cut in response to an application of energy emitted by a electrosurgical tool. Some exemplary tools are a high-frequency alternating and direct current electrosurgical tool, a high frequency sound wave electrosurgical tool, or an argon beam coagulator. In some embodiments, the system also includes connective tissue. In further embodiments, the connective tissue couples a first anatomical structure and a second anatomical structure. In some embodiments, the tubular structure is at least partially embedded in one or more of the first anatomical structure, the second anatomical structure, and the connective tissue.

Abstract: The present invention comprises an inflammable, single-service material assembly (1) in the form of a lighting strip (10), in a non-compacted state adapted to be able to present, after a lighting, an initial combustion with a generated amount of energy adapted for an initial lighting and a subsequent secondary combustion, for a lighting of an adjoining inflammable material (6, 6a, 6b), such as pieces of firewood formed from wood. The lighting strip (10) is, in a position intended for storing, allotted the form of a roll and has, at all events, two thin slender, elongate and co-ordinated strips (10?, 10?), wound up to a compact helical shape. The lighting strip (10) is structured as and constituting of, at all events, a thin paper strip (10?) and of, at all events, a thin plastic strip (10?), and that the lighting strip (10), in an unwound and non-compacted state (9), is so co-ordinated that a rapid lighting and a combustion of the paper strip (10?) and the plastic strip (10?) will take place.
