The Badger Spay Model was developed in 2019 by Dr. McLean Gunderson. This model is inexpensive to build, and is easily made and refilled, allowing for repetition of surgical skills related to an ovariohysterectomy procedure in order to build skill, confidence and muscle memory.

Here is a link to a video that teaches you how to build this model.

Here is a link to a presentation delivered at UW–Madison Veterinary Education Day 2022 that gives more information on the background of the model and how it has been used: Badger OHE model
