Injection Simulator

New from Limbs & Things, the Microvascular Anastomosis Trainer has been developed as the ideal platform for practicing microsurgery techniques.

Microsurgery is a key skill for trainee surgeons to learn, and is commonly used in reconstructive and plastic surgery, neurosurgery, cardiovascular surgery, and transplant surgery. Precise realignment and suturing of cut vessels is essential to restore blood flow following the transfer of tissue or reattachment of amputated parts.

Blood vessels in these specialist fields are typically less than 3mm in diameter and microvascular anastomosis is performed with specialist surgical instruments under a microscope. This versatile trainer features interlocking components that can be adjusted for varying anastomosis procedures.

To ensure accuracy, the Microvascular Anastomosis Trainer has been trialled in several courses in the UK over two years. This microsurgery skills trainer provides progression to specialist surgical curricula from the basic surgical skills trainers.
