Dog Mergen Model
The dog mergen model was developed to make it easy to learn the basic operations of an endoscope.
The purpose of developing this model is to learn basic manipulation, especially the approach to the
duodenum, which is the most difficult part of biological manipulation and is considered to be an
essential part of biopsy. We aim to improve insertion techniques and animal QOL through training with
this model.
Product Features
The endoscope is inserted deep into the digestive tract by linking the angle operation of the left-hand
control unit with the movement of applying rotation to the insertion unit. The dog mergen model uses 3D
printer technology and JMC's cultivated know-how to realistically reproduce the inside of internal
organs, which is difficult to do by cutting. The model has a strong bend to the duodenum, making it
ideal for practicing the approach.
- Created based on image data from the esophagus to the descending duodenum in dogs
- In the duodenum, the large duodenal papilla and Peyer's plate can be observed
- Gastric fundus with protuberant lesions, which can be used to practice rotation
maneuvers
- The case has a sliding lid, which can be used to check the anatomy.
- Adopts a movable fixture, and the degree of insertion difficulty can be changed.
- The model can be removed from the case and cleaned periodically for maintenance.
Voice from AVS Corporation
In recent years, pets, like people, have been aging, and pet owners have become increasingly aware of
the importance of health care for their pets. As a result, pet owners are becoming more and more
conscious of their pets' health care needs. At the same time, there is a growing demand for advanced
medical technology similar to that of humans, and veterinarians have no choice but to respond to these
needs. In particular, endoscopy is one of the medical treatments that can reduce the burden on animals
(contributing to minimally invasive medicine) and is easy for pet owners to accept.
However, there are many cases of lymphoma, especially gastrointestinal lymphoma, in dogs and cats, and
the technique of biopsy without opening the abdomen, i.e., endoscopy (in veterinary medicine, biopsy is
called endoscopy), is now recognized as a technology that will be required more and more. In the future,
endoscopy will be recognized as an even more important technology.
However, there are few places to
learn endoscopy techniques professionally, and it has been a challenge to create an environment where
minimally invasive medicine can be provided to pets and their owners.
