Device for demonstrating impedance tomography of the urinary bladder area

Abstract

A device for demonstrating impedance tomography of the urinary bladder area is characterized in that it comprises a tightly closed body (1), which is a tank made of a transparent material, furthermore, the upper part of the body (1) is a transparent top plate (2), and a bottom plate (4) is glued to the lower side walls of the body (1), constituting a base, furthermore, a valve (3) is placed in the body (1) to enable filling and emptying the body with a liquid, furthermore, inside the body (1) there is a model of skeletal elements, consisting of a connected spine model (5), a pelvis model (6) and a femur model (7), furthermore, a bladder model (8) is placed in the body (1), wherein the bladder model (8) is attached to the body (1) by means of an inlet pipe (9) with a diameter greater than 3 mm, which is attached to the lower part of the bladder model, and one end of a flexible inlet hose is led to the lower end of the inlet pipe (9) (12),and the other end of the flexible inlet hose (12) is led to the outlet port of the pump (16), which pump (13) is located on the bottom plate (4) and comprises a pump body, a pump piston, a piston protection located on the side of the pump handle and an additional pump port (19), to which one end of the flexible equalizing hose (17) is attached, while the other end of the flexible equalizing hose (17) is attached to the additional port of the body (18), furthermore, on the circumference of the body (1) at the height of the center of the bladder model (11) there are 8 clamps for attaching electrodes (21) placed at equal intervals,
