ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a disposable, life-like module for use in training physicians and surgeons in the techniques of both human and veterinary microsurgical anastomosis. The module comprises a housing defining a cavity. A pair of spaced apart connectors are connected to the housing and extend therethrough. Each of the connectors includes a bore defining an internal channel for allowing the movement of a fluid through the housing. Each of the channels includes a first end external of the cavity adapted to be in fluid communication with a reservoir and a second end internal of the cavity. A first layer simulates muscle tissue and spans the cavity. An elongate simulated vascular or neurovascular bundle having proximal ends and distal ends spans the chamber and is connected to the respective second connector ends. A pump pumps a fluid simulated blood through a fluid circuit and an optional controller provides pulsatile flow.
