<description>This is a multilayer artificial abdominal body wall that has similar tissue texture and consistency when compared to the ones found in live animals or humans. This MAABW has silicon-based blood vessels that are integrated within its multilayer structure. These vessels are interconnected and can support moderate intra-luminal liquid pressure, similar to the diastolic blood pressure encountered in many different species. Their purpose is to “bleed” once they are cut, and therefore will give the trainee the opportunity to learn and or practice basic methods of surgical hemostasis.</description>
