A first of its kind
PCNL Kidney Training Models
Delivering the most realistic, hands-on surgical experience for practicing the removal of kidney stones.
The reusable kidney cartridge inserts can simulate different orientations of the kidney and stone conditions. Surgeons and students can practice the removal of kidney stones whether they are large staghorn, upper and lower caliceal stones, or hydronephrotic (blocked ureter) stones.

The Kidney Training Model
The model acts much like human anatomy, mimicking renal access for common procedures in a urologic practice. The internal kidney anatomy contains eight calyces with several embedded stones of assorted sizes and locations.
