Full Range of Motion
The accurate knee ligamenture, bony anatomies, and anatomic hip joint on a hemipelvis allow full flexion and range of motion to position knee and establish the center of the rotation of the hip.
What Is a KneeSTUD™?
Introducing KneeSTUD™ surgical training and utility devices
A Realistic, High-Quality Surgical Training Tool
Realistic Environment
With a large number of models and add-ons, we can create SurgiSTUD™ knee models that mimic the most important anatomic and physiologic aspects of the operative environment.
Cost-Efficient
SurgiSTUD™ models provide significant cost savings over existing cadaveric models. Students can now train on several of their own models rather than sharing a single cadaver with other students, and for less overall cost.
Multiple Pathologies
From normal anatomy to severe deformities, choose from a variety of anatomies and pathologies, with more constantly being added to our catalogue. Or send us a CT scan and we’ll make you a patient-specific model.
Exactly What You Need
We can modify the bone quality, anatomic pathology, surgical approach, and numerous other features to custom-build you a training model that matches your educational goals.
Revolutionizing Surgical Education
KneeSTUD™ training models are patented biofidelic training platforms of real human pathology. By providing a superior training platform at significant cost-savings over cadavers, we improve surgical training quality and access on a global scale.
Technological Highlights
Realistic Response to Surgical Procedures
A STUD with Varus deformity undergoes progressive correction with the release of medial ligaments. The model responds to the sequential release of ligaments just as a normal knee would.
Customizable to Your Training Needs
We can create a custom KneeSTUD™ that mimics the operative environment best suited for your training goals.
Synthetic Bone Architecture
The synthetic bone of a STUD is made with a corticocancellous architecture that mimics human bone. This architecture provides excellent radiographic anatomy and permits the use of injectable bone cements.
Biomechanical Performance of Synthetic Bone
The synthetic bone of a STUD provides high-fidelity biomechanical performance for bone resection and hardware fixation. Specify the bone mineral density, and we will provide a model with analogous bony biomechanical performance. See our publications section for more information.
Exactly What You Need to Train Effectively
From surgical training and education to medical device development and biomechanical testing, SurgiSTUD™ delivers a superior platform at a significantly reduced cost.
“The KneeSTUD is the most anatomically accurate model available for practice of surgical procedures, eliminating the need for cadaveric materials and fostering excellent surgical training.”Alfred J.
