KROTON KOLONO Colonoscopy Trainer (END001)

The simulator allows to practice both on a healthy colon, and on a colon with lesions. Models of pathological lesions supplied with the trainer include a wide array of most common problems. Practising with KROTON KOLONO, improves your skills, which directly translates into less pain and trauma for patients. If a doctor initially trains on our simulator, it gives him/her confidence and skills necessary to complete the real-life procedure faster and more efficiently. Looking at people who practice on our trainers, can help us safely assess the level of their skills.

Components of the trainer:

• Large intestine (Colon) — the model is equipped with all sections that are present in the human organ, namely: rectum, sigmoid colon, descending colon, transverse colon, ascending colon, cecum and Bauhin's valve (ileocecal valve). Large intestine was constructed based on a CT scan. The colon has 15 ports.
• Small intestine — 60 cm long section. The module facilitates enteroscopy training — a double-balloon or single-balloon examination.
• Body — is used only to attach the colon in a desired position. Adjusted to be put in three positions that imitate positioning of a patient on his back and on his left or right side. Spring-loaded hooks stabilize the colon when practising in vertical position.
• Cover — the cover's main purpose is to prevent users from looking directly inside the phantom during training, so that a user could not know the actual position of the endoscope's tip.
• Components inserted into the trainer — the trainer set includes a large number of inserts for the colon. Their role is to ensure significant portion of educational value. They allow for creating many training scenarios. Component types are described below:
