Description
Key Features
Realistic and Articulating Design: The model is a lifelike representation of a human forearm and hand. A key feature is the movable fingers, which allow trainees to practice suturing in challenging, hard-to-reach areas, such as between the digits.
Multi-Layered Skin: The arm features distinct layers representing both the skin and subcutaneous tissue. This provides a more authentic suturing experience and enables the practice of different types of sutures, including subdermal, continuous, and interrupted.
Customizable Wounds: Instructors can use a scalpel to create wounds of various sizes, shapes, and depths anywhere on the arm, providing a wide variety of training scenarios.
Durable and Reusable: The model is designed for repeated use. The material is strong enough to hold sutures without tearing, and each wound can be sutured multiple times. This makes it a cost-effective and long-lasting training solution.
Stapling Capability: In addition to traditional suturing, the arm can also be used for practicing surgical stapling procedures.
Portable and Ready-to-Use: The arm is a compact, easy-to-handle model that is suitable for use in various settings, and it often comes with a starter kit of sutures and an instructional guide.
