Basic Surgical Skills (BSS) Day 1 Kit
The Basic Surgical Skills Kit (BSS) contains a range of skills training models that have been designed for the practice of Basic surgical skills, specifically for the official Basic Surgical Skills Course. BSS has been developed in close collaboration with Leading medical professionals involved in the BSS Course development.
The Day 1 Kit comes with task trainers and consumables required to complete day 1 or the BSS course and can be replenished with the Day1 Refill pack that attaches with ease.
What does the BSS Day 1 kit contain?
BSS Knot Tying Trainer - composed of a magnetic system to represent 3 stages of tissue strength, along with a small and medium fixed cylinder opening for tying small and deeper sutures, respectively. The tying trainer is transparent to allow for trainers to observe and assess trainee competence.
Skin Pad and Jig - composed of an epidermis, dermis and subdermal layer with a similar drag and strength to human skin. All layers have a realistic retention of sutures. The Skin Jig holds the skin pad securely in position whilst the trainee practices suturing techniques.
BSS Lesion & Cyst - for the practice of skin lesion removal, local anaesthesia, and biopsy techniques
Haemostasis Pad – realistically mimics a tissue dissection containing a fluid-filled vessel. Allows trainees to practice the transfixion suture technique and test the integrity of a ligation knot.
Double Layer Bowel - for realistic bowel simulation and training in relevant anastomosis surgical techniques.
