[The simulator for mastering of tendon suture technique]
Abstract:
The article describes the tendon and simulator model for mastering of tendon suture technique. As a tendon model, the authors suggest to use segments of silicone rods, which remain unclaimed after a two-stage tendon reconstruction. Diameter, shape, elasticity of silicone prostheses satisfies to similar parameters of the fingers hand man tendons. The plastic board with holes is using as a support for fixation of the tendon model. The proposed device is simpler and more available in comparison with the known analogues. The effectiveness of the original model and simulator tested in practice at training young surgeons.
