Develop and gain proficiency in essential surgical skills with this comprehensive Knot Tying Trainer, designed to train medical students and trainee surgeons with all the surgical knot tying techniques. The model will provide a realistic experience, as a result of the elastic parallel knotting tubes and the unique magnetic system mimicking tissue strength.

The following skills can be practiced and taught using this versatile unit:

• Surgical Knots - such as the slip knot, instrument tie, surgeon’s knot and one-handed reef knot technique, where manual dexterity skills can be developed.
• Surgical techniques – The cylinder is adjustable and removable to enable practice of knot tying at different angles, depths and openings. These techniques are important to master and can mimic real life situations where surgeries may be performed at an angle in the abdominal region or at varying depths in gynaecologic procedures.
• Suture cutting
• Ligation
• The correct use of a vessel clamp

Aside from the realism of the model and various techniques that can be developed, the cylinders are transparent, so trainers are able to observe and assess the competence of the trainees. This means it is an effective teaching tool and a necessity for clinical skills sessions.
