A SIMPLE, INEXPENSIVE DEVICE FOR TEACHING THE LOOP ELECTROSURGICAL EXCISION PROCEDURE

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1999
To develop an inexpensive and practical inanimate model to teach the loop electrosurgical excision procedure in a resident clinic.A vaginal speculum is inserted into one end of a cardboard tube. At the opposite end, a piece of knockwurst sausage is inserted into the cardboard tube. A grounding pad is attached to the distal end of the sausage.
