ABSTRACT:
A kit for practicing ophthalmic suturing technique simulates the anterior portion of a human eye having a torn iris. The kit comprises a workpiece having a planar board with two elastic bands attached at their ends to the board in spaced, parallel relation to one another whereby the lengths of the bands between their ends may be moved with respect to the board. A transparent dome is attached at its perimeter to the board in covering, centered relation to the elastic bands. The dome includes first and second, axially aligned holes formed therethrough with the common axis of the holes extending transversely to the longitudinal extensions of the bands. The space between the elastic bands represents a tear in the iris with the transparent dome representing the anterior portion of an eye. A length of simulated suture is manipulated through the holes in the dome to close the space between the bands using a suture handling tool in the shape of a hooked crochet needle.
