Ostomy Manikins Now Available for you to Practice

What is Ostomy?

As all medical students would know, ostomy is the process of creating an opening from an area inside the body to the outside. It is constructed surgically and is an excretory opening like a colostomy or ileostomy to drain the wastes out of the body. Once this procedure is done, a person can go about his or her daily life without any hindrance. One can even participate in sports or recreational activities and live a normal life.

Why Do you Need Practice?

Ostomy is not a very difficult procedure but like all other medical procedures this also entails certain risks and no doctor wants to risk the life of his or her patients. Therefore, it is best to practice the procedure thoroughly before one actually does it on a living person. For this reason, manikins are the best option. They are constructed in a manner so as to prepare a student for the real experience of an ostomy. The students can construct an opening in the manikin surgically exactly as they would do in a real surgery and complete ostomy. If the student does anything wrong, the manikin will make it known and the student will have to do it again till it has been done perfectly.

Why Manikins?

Manikins are perfect to prepare a medical student for treating patients. They look almost real and give the student the feeling of treating a patient. They are also constructed to be exactly similar to the human body and hence create a very good replica of a patient for the students to practice on. The students can also practice on the manikin innumerable times till they feel confident about doing the procedures perfectly at which point of time they will be ready to perform it on a patient. The best part about manikins, of course, is that they can’t die. No matter how many times you do the procedure wrong, it’s going to be okay. You can just start over again till you do it right. Practicing on manikins is hence easy, beneficial and effective for medical students.
