"Benny" the anatomical teddy

Does this problem sound familiar: You try to explain to a small patient facing surgery why an operation has to be done and where the organ to be operated on is located, but all you look into is a pair of blank and frightened eyes?

Benny is a hand-made teddy bear and will help you and your little patients to explore the methods of examination and surgery in an easily comprehensible way.



The teddy contains especially finely crafted removable organs gives the patient a better understanding of their own body.

Some of the organs in and on the teddy are provided with a Velcro strip: Ears with auditory canals, 2 tonsils, windpipe, heart, lung, liver, gall bladder, spleen, digestive system with oesophagus; stomach, bowels, appendix, anus, pancreas, urinary system; kidney, ureter, refillable bladder, urethra with an exit for catherisation or bladder x-ray.
