Skills Gained

· Breast palpation

· Breast ultrasound examination

· Using ultrasound to target the lesions for biopsy

Features

· Realism:

  1)  True-to-life size and appearance necessary to provide realistic practice for trainees

  2)  Soft and elastic skin; realistic feel and touch

       · Key Features:

         1)  Made up of two breast models and a wearable vest, easy to install and remove

         2)  Each model contains 8 space-occupying lesions of varying sizes, different in touch, elasticity and ultrasonogram

         3) Space-occupying lesions present in both the four breast quadrants and the Tail of Spence

       4) Biomimetic material allowing users to see clear and real normal tissues and space-occupying lesions that are hyperechoic, hypoechoic and isoechoic as they would see in the clinical environment
