Popliteal Fossa distal thigh and proximal leg
Description
Description
Popliteal Fossa distal thigh and proximal leg
Proximal Cross-Section: Compartments and Vessels
The proximal cross-section displays the anterior, posterior, and medial compartment muscles, with the popliteal artery and vein entering the fossa via the adductor hiatus. The sciatic nerve and great saphenous vein are also visible. Posteriorly, the skin, superficial fascia, fascia lata, and crural fascia have been removed to clearly demonstrate the course of the popliteal vessels, tibial nerve, and common peroneal nerve. Medial sectioning of the semitendinosus and semimembranosus muscles reveals the superior medial genicular artery and the medial head of the gastrocnemius, while distal sectioning exposes the popliteus muscle and the tendon of the plantaris.
Popliteal Vessels and Nerves
The popliteal artery and vein can be traced through the fossa to their passage deep to the soleus muscle, accompanied by the tibial nerve. With the lateral head of the gastrocnemius removed, several tibial nerve branches and the medial sural cutaneous nerve are visible. The common peroneal nerve runs parallel, descending laterally over the exposed soleus to the fibular neck, just distal to the biceps femoris. Deep to the biceps femoris, the superior lateral genicular branch passes toward the anterior compartment.
Distal Cross-Section: Leg Neurovascular Structures
The distal cross-section shows the continuation of the popliteal contents and branches. The great and small saphenous veins and sural nerves are visible within the superficial fascia. Between the posterior, lateral, and anterior compartment muscles, the neurovascular bundles of the leg can be observed, including the posterior tibial artery and veins with tibial nerve, the peroneal artery and veins, and the anterior tibial artery, veins, and deep peroneal nerve.

The quality is amazing 🥰
Amazing
But recommend the sutures to be 2/0.
4/0 is very small
I'm a medical student and was really pleased with the quality of this kit, all the tools are well made and the case is near and sturdy
Works well
If i could give it 4.5 I would but I'm much more inclined to say I'm happy with this product. Really good quality, excellent resource for my vet suturing practice. I have a mild complaint about the silk sutures, they rip/ fray more easily than I hoped, but easily rectified by buying new ones (which are cheap) and also encourages me to be more gentle with my knots. I'm so happy with it and it's a perfect still revising break from studying. Thank you Sim and Skills!!!
Student Feedback: Feedback was gathered from 13 students. Overall, they liked the trainer and would recommend it to their peers for learning blood glucose testing. They found the trainer easy to use and helpful in demonstrating the procedure. The students felt that the trainer added significant value to their training, with the main benefit being an increased competency in blood glucose testing.
Lecturer Feedback: Feedback was collected from 7 lecturers. Most of them found the trainer to be authentic and effective in simulating the challenges of blood sugar testing. They appreciated that it encouraged patient communication, which is a great plus. The product was of good quality and reliable for teaching purposes. However, there was a minor issue with the finger becoming leaky after multiple uses. Despite this, the lecturers agreed that the trainer prepares students well for real-world blood glucose testing.
Excellent service and speedy delivery. Highly recommended
Brilliant teaching aid. Lots of useful equipment within set. Excellent for practice.
Amazing product
As a proud owner of a Sim & Skills Foot & Ankle model, I thought it was time I invested in a Hand & Wrist.
My clients find it really helpful when we are discussing anatomy and it really aids their recovery.
I believe client education and knowing that your body is something to be enjoyed, not feared, is such an important platform for recovery from chronic pain.
This item is very useful for NG insertion training, it can be used in a horizontal position and the fluid bag does not leak out. The bag and tubing can all be stored within the head making storage of the item easy. It is very simple to use and the head is strong and durable
Purchased these bags for training with venepuncture and so far very pleased with quality and cost
Fast delivery, excellent communication and a great price
Excellent fast service. Thank you.
Blood powder was excellent for teaching catastrophic bleed management and it makes so much blood. Would highly recommend.
