Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
75 words
An anatomical part replica including a core element and a removable glovelike skin element, said core element carrying a vein-simulating tube, at least a portion of said tube rising at least partially abOve the outer surface of said core element, at least a portion of said tube carried beneath the surface of said core element, said skin element having vein-like configurations rising from its outer surface, said rising tube portions and said configurations being aligned.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
75 words
An anatomical part replica including a core element and a removable glovelike skin element, said core element carrying a vein-simulating tube, at least a portion of said tube rising at least partially abOve the outer surface of said core element, at least a portion of said tube carried beneath the surface of said core element, said skin element having vein-like configurations rising from its outer surface, said rising tube portions and said configurations being aligned.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
The structure of claim 1 wherein said skin element is relatively loose upon said core element and said elements are rigidly sealed together only at one end thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
The structure of claim 1 wherein an elongated portion of said tube lies beneath the external surface of said core element and a shadow-casting material overlies said elongated material beneath said skin element.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
63 words
The structure of claim 1 characterized by and including an intermediate layer between said core element and said skin element, said layer being formed of a flexible, tacky substance having a self-sealing characteristic and effective to retain said skin element movably in place on said core element, said layer being rendable to facilitate removal of said skin element intact from said core element.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
49 words
A medical training aid in the form of a simulated human limb, said limb having a bone and flesh-simulating core element and a removable skin-simulating element, said skin-simulating element being glovelike in overall configuration, and a layer of flexible, tacky, gel-like material between and in contact with said elements.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
49 words
A medical training aid in the form of a simulated human limb, said limb having a bone and flesh-simulating core element and a removable skin-simulating element, said skin-simulating element being glovelike in overall configuration, and a layer of flexible, tacky, gel-like material between and in contact with said elements.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
13 words
The structure of claim 5 wherein said layer material has a self-sealing characteristic.
