T-R-N-003Transseptal model
The present heart model represents an anatomically correct hollow cast in silicon of the two atrial chambers. It demonstrates the right and left atria including their appendages. Furthermore the left atrium includes the four ostia of the pulmonary arteries. The right atrium includes the ostium of the superior vena cava and is accessible via the inferior vena cava.
The main feature of the model is a disposable interauricular septum allowing access via the inferior vena cava and the right atrium to the left atrium using a standard transeptal puncture technique. After multiple punctures the disposable interauricular septum can be exchanged. This “foramen ovale“ membrane of this heart model has been specially designed to be easily replaced after trainings so that an unlimited number of students can check the efficiency of their work.
Furthermore an artificial fluid filled circuit can be established between the right and the left atrium to use the system under 'wet' conditions.
This model has been designed for teaching purposes, in particular
for training in transseptal punctures and other interventions in the
left atrium.
This heart model corresponds perfectly to the apprenticeship of the
standard transeptal technique with respect of the patients security.

Elastrat Sàrl is a worldwide leader in the development, realization and distribution of human anatomical vascular phantoms.
Our Swiss made transparent soft or rigid silicon phantoms reproduce the anatomical vasculature with its pathologies like aneurysms or stenoses and can be trained through navigation with stents, catheters and coils. They provide a realistic environment for the simulation of endovascular procedures, pre-surgery training, studies and teaching purposes for interventionists, such as interventional cardiologists (neuroradiologists, etc.), interventional radiology-cardiologists, and interventional angiologists.
The models promote safety through education and professional competence.
