| Popis: | BACKGROUND Medical students must be able to suture competently upon graduation. To learn suturing technique, students must have access to practice materials. The purpose of this pilot study was to develop a novel suturing trainer and to evaluate its ability to provide realistic and accessible suturing practice. A cohort of senior students at one institution compared the device with standard suture-training media (porcine feet and sponges). METHODS Using 3D printing and silicone casting, a novel suturing trainer was developed and a cohort of senior medical students trialed the device in a standardised suturing workshop. Participants evaluated the novel suturing trainer, porcine feet and sponges for simulating human tissue with regard to: (i) tissue layers; (ii) tissue texture; (iii) ability to perform interrupted suturing; (iv) running subcuticular suturing; and (v) knot tying. RESULTS Compared with porcine feet and sponges, the suturing trainer had significantly higher mean scores (p |
