1. Curettage Is Trained Blind — Which Is Why It Should Be Taught Visible
Uterine evacuation is a core OB/GYN procedure and one of the hardest to teach: the operator cannot see the cavity, and a wrong depth or direction — perforation, incomplete evacuation, retained products — is serious. The training problem is not theoretical: despite accreditation requirements to teach second-trimester dilation and evacuation (D&E), resident training has been described as extremely limited, with access gaps persisting (York et al., 2014; Hunkler et al., 2025).
When clinical exposure is scarce, simulation fills the gap — and it works: a mastery-learning D&E curriculum produced performance that transferred to clinical practice (York et al., 2016). Even a papaya model improved confidence in uterine aspiration (Paul, 2005), showing that purpose-built models are the natural next step.
The FT32 takes that step through visibility: its transparent casing makes the pelvic structures and the instrument path observable, so beginners watch the steps happen and instructors verify correctness rather than infer it.
2. Evidence: Why Uterine Procedures Need Dedicated Trainers
Evidence | Finding | Relevance to FT32 |
York et al., 2014 | D&E training is extremely limited; a second-trimester uterine model was built and assessed | A model meets an unmet training need |
York et al., 2016 | A mastery-learning D&E curriculum transferred to high-level clinical performance | Simulation changes real competence |
Hunkler et al., 2025 | Clinical D&E access gap; an hour-long simulation achieved 100% assessment completion | Simulation succeeds where case exposure fails |
Paul, 2005 | A papaya model improved confidence in manual vacuum aspiration | Low-fidelity practice helps; purpose-built models improve on it |
Grady et al., 2008 | Simulator fidelity influences catheterization/NG-tube teaching effectiveness | Realism matters for basic skills too |
Jöud et al., 2010 | Simulator training can improve catheterization skills in students and nurses | Supports model-based catheterization teaching |
3. What the FT32 Lets You Teach
A. Dilation and curettage with visual verification
Transparent uterus and pelvis
● : the dilator and curet path is followed from cervix into cavity.
6–7 week gestation sac
● gives a concrete target to identify and work around.
Curettage residue supplied
● , so incomplete evacuation and its correction are practised rather than described.
B. Uterine position demonstration
The model fixes in anteversion, horizontal or retroversion using its basement support — the three positions that change instrument angle and procedure difficulty. Instructors set a position, students adapt, then the position changes and they re-establish orientation.
C. Urethral catheterization and bladder irrigation
Correctly formed anatomy (labia, urethra, vagina, bladder, ureter) supports female catheterization and bladder irrigation — making the FT32 a two-skill station.
D. Reproductive tract anatomy
Uterus, fallopian tube, ovary, bladder and ureter are arranged realistically — useful for explaining why perforation matters.
4. Where the FT32 Sits in the OB/GYN Line
Model | Focus | Best for |
FT32 | Transparent curettage + catheterization | D&C training, family-planning courses |
FT33B | Family-planning education (IUD, contraception) | Contraception counselling |
F9F | IUD placement training | IUD insertion skills |
F9B | Female contraception model | Contraception education |
F7B | Breast inspection model | Breast examination |
FT2 | Full-term newborn model | Newborn care |
Buying logic: choose the FT32 for intrauterine procedures with visible anatomy and verifiable steps; add FT33B/F9F for a complete family-planning station, or FT2 for maternal-child curricula.
5. Teaching Protocol (suggested)
Station | Time | Activity |
A. Anatomy orientation | 10 min | Identify uterus, tubes, ovaries, bladder, ureter; locate the sac |
B. Cervical dilation | 15 min | Insert dilators; instructors watch from the transparent aspect |
C. Curettage technique | 20 min | Curettage with residue; check evacuation through the wall |
D. Position variation | 10 min | Repeat with anteverted, horizontal and retroverted uterus |
E. Catheterization | 15 min | Female urethral catheterization and bladder irrigation |
Assessment checklist (suggested)
● Correct instrument selection and assembly
● Dilator introduced along the uterine axis with controlled force
● Curette used systematically; residue removed
● Technique adapted to the uterine position set by the instructor
● Catheterization performed correctly; steps verbalised and documented
6. Maintenance
Item | Frequency | Notes |
Transparent casing | Each session | Mild disinfectant; avoid abrasive cloths |
Uterine cavity | Each session | Remove residue; clean and dry per instructions |
Genital structures | Each session | Inspect for wear; keep supple per manual |
Instrument set | Per class | Clean and store dilators/curette |
Basement support | Monthly | Check the position-fixing mechanism |
7. FAQ
Q1: What procedures can be practised on the FT32? A: Cervical dilation, curettage with visible verification, evacuation of supplied residue, urethral catheterization and bladder irrigation — across three uterine positions.
Q2: Why is transparency important for training? A: Curettage is otherwise a blind procedure. The clear casing lets instructors confirm that instrument steps are correct and students see the relationship between instrument, cavity and sac.
Q3: Does the model include a gestation sac? A: Yes — a 6–7 week gestation sac is visible inside the transparent uterus, providing a realistic target for identification and evacuation practice.
Q4: Can it be used for female catheterization training? A: Yes. The correct labia, urethra, vagina and bladder anatomy supports female catheterization and bladder irrigation in the same unit.
Q5: What is the MOQ and price? A: MOQ is 1 unit; price on request, varying with configuration and volume. Email chinonplus@adaanatomy.com. for the quotation and specification sheet.
Q6: What are the delivery and service terms? A: Air freight 7–10 business days; sea freight 30–45 days. Manual included; consumables available.
