Microsurgery in Your Pocket
3-layered, anatomically accurate, artery vessels in the new Limbs & Things microsurgery trainer give an enhanced, closer-to-life training experience.
Microsurgery is a delicate and precise surgical technique, that requires extensive training and practise. Using minute sutures, either stitch by stitch or as a continuous line, microsurgery forms a core part of training curricula among a number of specialties, for restoring blood flow after trauma or rebuilding anatomical structures. Surgeons must carefully manage the vessel's three layers to prevent complications, as any obstructions to blood flow can result in inadequate blood supply to the tissues, or life-threatening consequences.
Simulation ahead of such an intricate suture technique is essential to ensure the development of visuospatial awareness and the ability to perform it correctly, within a set timeframe, and with equipment that may be unfamiliar. To help surgeons and trainees hone their skills and improve patient outcomes, Limbs & Things has created a new training tool, the Microvascular Anastomosis Trainer.
This innovative microsurgical training jig with tri-layered 3mm diameter arterial blood vessels, offers a realistic simulation environment for practising a variety of microvascular anastomoses techniques such as end-to-end, end-to-side, or side-to-side. The training jig allows surgeons to perfect their suturing ability in a controlled environment, building confidence in their skill before they operate on a real patient.
Compact, Portable & Personalised Training
The new microvascular trainer allows for personalised set up in a compact & portable box. Arrange the jig's internal structure to practice end-to-end, end-to-side & side-to-side anastomoses procedures.
One of the key advantages of the training jig is its portability. Surgeons can easily transport it in their pocket and practise wherever and whenever needed, on their own or under supervision. This flexibility allows more convenient and frequent training, helping to reinforce and refresh their skills as often as required, or before a case.
Unlike traditional training methods that may involve animal tissue, the trainer’s synthetic vessels provide a more hygienic approach to learning and eliminates the risk of contamination and infection.
The Microvascular Anastomosis Trainer is a valuable tool for surgeons of all levels; providing repeat practise for experienced professionals looking to refine their technique or for trainees seeking to build and develop their skills. It offers an innovative approach to microsurgical training, creating a safe, effective and convenient way to enhance surgical skills.
