Pocket Vessel Anastomosis Trainer (#1389)

View Brochure

Developed in conjunction with the Thoracic Surgery Directors Association (TSDA), the Pocket Vessel Anastomosis Trainer provides surgical learners with a platform for deliberate practice of basic cardiothoracic and vascular operative skills in a safe, repeatable environment. When not in use, this compact Trainer will fit in a lab coat pocket and can be used outside of the simulated lab environment.

Replaceable graft and target vessels allow for multiple anastomoses. The clear cover can be used to create a more challenging distance or angle from the anastomosis or repair site to perfect needle and needle holder angles, as well as suture placement.

The Pocket Vessel Anastomosis Trainer may be configured for valve repair practice by the additional purchase of our Mitral Valve Prolapse Trainer (#1320) or (#1012).  Designed for valve repair training, the prolapsed posterior leaflet is reinforced to allow practice in incision, repair and annular ring placement.
