1. Introduction and Overview
This anatomical model, the 3B Scientific K26 Gallstone Model, is designed for patient education and anatomical study of the biliary system. It presents the anatomy of the biliary system and its surroundings at half natural size. The model illustrates acute inflammation (cholecystitis) and tissue changes resulting from chronic inflammation within the gallbladder wall. Gallstones are depicted in typical locations: the fundus of the gallbladder, the spiral valve area, the common bile duct, and the papillary opening of the small intestine.
2. Setup
The 3B Scientific K26 Gallstone Model comes pre-mounted on a stable base. No assembly is required. Simply place the model on a flat, stable surface for display or study.
3. Operating Instructions
The K26 Gallstone Model is intended for visual demonstration and study of the human biliary system and gallstone formation. Users can observe the anatomical structures and the depicted pathological conditions. Point out the locations of gallstones and areas of inflammation for educational purposes.
4. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your 3B Scientific K26 Gallstone Model, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the model gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the surface or paint.
- Storage: Store the model in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can cause material degradation or discoloration.
- Handling: Handle the model with care to prevent accidental drops or impacts that could cause breakage.
5. Troubleshooting
