Fig. 11 — A-F Different attempts of connecting single parts of the model. A Black arrow: First attempts of connecting the fallopian tube to the uterus by drilling a whole in both parts and connecting them with a wooden stick. Blue arrow: The ovarian ligament was glued to the uterus in a first attempt using super glue (Pattex Sekundenkleber Ultra Gel from the company Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, Düsseldorf-Holthausen, Germany). B Two black arrows: The insertion of the round ligament into to uterus was created by gluing two small magnets onto the uterus and the round Ligament. With two magnets, the round ligament could be held in position. Green arrow: hole for connection-piece for fallopian tube. Blue arrow: similar to the round ligament, we used a magnet for the ovarian ligament. Yet we drilled a hole in the uterus and the ovarian ligament, in which we inserted the two magnets. This resulted in an optically more fluid transition between the two connected objects. C-D Magnet for connecting ovarian ligament to uterus. E Black double-arrow: ureters and bladder were equipped with small inserted magnets for connection. Blue arrow: parametrium. Green arrow: uterine artery. Red arrow: sacrouterine ligament. F Black arrows: two small magnets were glued onto the uterus for connecting the round ligament. Blue arrow: The fallopian tube was glued to the uterus with super glue (Pattex Sekundenkleber Ultra Gel from the company Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, Düsseldorf-Holthausen, Germany). Green Arrow: The ovarian ligament was connected to the uterus by using inserted magnets. Red arrow: The ureters were connected to the bladder by using inserted magnets. The magnets were from the company Brudazon UG, Hamm, Germany, (Article number: B07L22SJZR, purchased via the company Amazon Europe Core S.à r.l., Seattle, USA)
