A leg model, designed to teach endoscopic saphenous vein harvesting, is provided
that accurately models the anatomy of the saphenous vein in the human thigh, and
closely approximates the subcutaneous tissues in a human. The subcutaneous tissue
is formulated and manufactured such that the saphenous vein adheres to the subcutaneous
tissue to simulate the adhesion in a human leg. The model includes a reusable base
and a replaceable single use insert. The base is size and configured to receive
the insert. The tray can include a slit located at a point along its length that
permits the ends of the tray to rotate about the slit so that the ends can be bent
with respect to one another.
