Pancreas Models for PJA and Portal Vein Dissection Training
The LifeLike Pancreas Training Models are designed for practising pancreaticojejunal anastomosis (PJA) and uncinate or portal vein dissection techniques. Each model contains a tubular structure with a 6 mm internal diameter and 7 mm external diameter, embedded within either soft or granulated simulated pancreatic tissue.
Choose from short or long formats and soft or granulated tissue configurations to match the requirements of your surgical training programme.

Specialist Pancreatic Surgical Training
These models provide a controlled platform for practising the precise tissue handling, dissection and suturing skills required in hepatopancreatobiliary surgical training. The defined vessel lumen enables trainees to work around a consistent internal structure while developing procedural accuracy.
Pancreaticojejunal Anastomosis
- Anastomotic planning and orientation
- Precise needle placement around a defined lumen
- Circumferential suture spacing
- Fine tissue handling
- Suture tension control
- Hand–eye coordination
Uncinate and Portal Vein Dissection
- Identification of tissue planes
- Controlled dissection around a tubular structure
- Instrument positioning and coordination
- Delicate tissue handling
- Procedural planning and spatial awareness
- Dissection technique development

Which Option Should I Choose?
Short or Long?
The short models measure 3 × 2 inches and provide a compact format for focused procedural exercises.
The long models measure 6 × 2 inches and provide an extended working area for longer dissections or alternative model positioning.
Soft or Granulated?
Models 0310 and 0313 use the specified soft simulated tissue.
Models 0316 and 0319 use the alternative granulated simulated tissue. This allows educators to select the material configuration that best suits the objectives of their training session.
