eyecre.at's most comprehensive oculoplastic training model, built for surgeons who operate on the eyelid and periocular region.
The M.A.R.K.O. LID is eyecre.at's flagship oculoplastic training model. M.A.R.K.O. stands for Multi-Layer Anatomical Reconstructive Kit for Oculoplastics. It simulates the full range of eyelid and periocular procedures: from blepharoplasty to ptosis correction, from ectropion repair to flap reconstruction. Tissue response and anatomical detail are made for training complex procedures with confidence. Developed together with oculoplastic surgeons and refined course by course at the LidSUMMIT. Made in Austria by eyecre.at.
How it is built:
• 3D printed layer by layer: skin, connective tissue, muscles, fat and bone
• More than 50 separately defined volumes, each with its own material recipe
• 7 base materials, combined into a wide range of digital materials and post-processed after printing
• The model contains artificial blood
What you can train:
• Upper and lower blepharoplasty
• Ptosis correction, including frontalis sling technique
• Ectropion repair with lateral tarsal strip
• Canthoplasty and canthopexy
• Eyelid malposition correction
• Direct flap and advancement flap reconstruction
• Rotation flap technique
• Wound drainage simulation and wound closure
• Primary closure technique
Model features:
• Ectropion simulation: the lower lid everts outward, so lateral tarsal strip surgery can be practised realistically
• Periosteum on the lateral orbital rim: the tarsus can be anchored laterally under tension, as in the real procedure
• Natural proportions between medial lid margin, nasal bridge, eye and brow
• Skin material with flow fibres for realistic cutting and suturing in upper and lower blepharoplasty
• Realistic connective and fat tissue; the orbital septum follows the skin closely
• Frontalis muscle close to the bone and a flat frontal bone: space between muscle and skin for frontalis sling training
• Skin sits loosely on the frame instead of being fixed to it, giving a tension-free model
Anatomical scope: upper and lower lacrimal canaliculi are indicated but not functional; lacrimal drainage surgery is covered by a separate model. The nasal region and the maxillary and nasal bones are represented schematically only.
Storage: keep the model in an airtight container or zip bag. This keeps the blood inside the model liquid.
Recommended suture: Suture 5/0 Polypropylene Blue 90 cm Double (PN0424)
For all suturing on the M.A.R.K.O. LID we recommend this 5/0 polypropylene suture. It holds securely in the model's skin and tissue layers and does not tear out as quickly during repeated practice, so every model delivers more training rounds.
