Abstract

Purpose To create valid, re‐vascularized tissue models for surgical training.Method Re‐established pulsatile flows were created in selectively cannulated arteries of the cadaveric tissues, being developed as training models. Venous flow was also re‐established for some teaching models. Manual pump techniques were used to produce a pulsatile flow through these blood vessels.Results Selected examples have been developed and used in Advanced Surgical training. Video examples to be displayed include Models for renal, vascular, micro‐vascular and cardiac surgery.Conclusion The ideal surgical training model needs pulsatile vessel preparations for many training circumstances.A bio‐reality, pulsatile surgical training model has been developed. It has application as a penultimate model for surgical skills training.
