The Anatomical Apron is a unique tool for educating patients about stoma surgery.
Many patients find that seeing the digestive systems represented in this way helps them understand their operation more clearly.
It provides a clear visual and tactile model for your patient and their family and it helps to encourage and stimulate important questions during your teaching session.
The Anatomical Apron enables your patient to visualize what occurs both on the inside and outside of their abdomen following surgery. This greatly enhances your patient’s understanding of what will occur during surgery.
The Anatomical Apron was conceived as an educational tool which both helps patients and others understand the physiologic and structural changes that take place when ostomy surgery is performed.
The Apron is especially useful for teaching patients with additional communication needs (e.g. non-English speakers, those with special educational needs and children)
The Anatomical Apron is recommended for use in the following sectors:
- Stoma Nurses to educate their Patients.
- Nursing Schools/Universities
- Wound Care & Ostomy Nurses
- GP’s Office’s
- Surgeons’ Offices
- Support Groups
The Anatomical Apron also now comes with a urological feature to explain the urinary system and demonstrate the construction of urostomies; and a colon segment to illustrate how loop stomas are made. All these features come with the Apron in a handy tote bag to keep everything together while you are teaching.
