An Inexpensive Suturing Training Model

Abstract

Introduction Demonstrations and training on live-subjects are not always the optimal means of introducing the students to minor oral surgery. Hence, the use of teaching models permit the students to handle the surgical instruments in a limited field under a semi-realistic circumstance and also helps in developing psychomotor skills in an non stressed situation. One among the competent exercise in oral surgery is suturing. Though there exist a variety of commercially available suturing training models, cost factor restrain their acquirement in few units. Methods & Materials This paper describes the construction of a simple and cost-effective suturing model for preclinical training. The construction of this model requires an orange peel, putty impression material and plaster of paris. This suturing model can be created in ten minutes. Conclusion This model can be constructed by the students with minimal effort and low cost in order to practice suturing.

A utilização de modelos de simulação para treinamento cirúrgico – revisão integrativa

“…Os estudos comprovam que os usos de modelos de ensino permitem que os acadêmicos aprendam habilidades cirúrgicas sem comprometer o paciente, possibilitando os alunos a lidar com os instrumentais cirúrgicos em um campo limitado sob uma circunstância semi realista e também ajudando no desenvolvimento de habilidades psicomotoras em uma situação não estressante. (Ahmed et al, 2018;Kumaresan et al, 2013). A geração de modelos 3D baseados em conjuntos de dados tomográficos podem se tornar uma técnica útil para demonstrar, planejar e auxiliar no ensino.…”

“…Para que não haja nenhuma complicação durante os procedimentos a serem executados, é necessário que os profissionais possuam um conhecimento exato sobre cada intervenção, dessa maneira os riscos, através de complicações que possam surgir, diminuem consideravelmente. (Carvalho et al, 2019;Ahmed et al, 2018;Kumaresan et al, 2013).…”

Evaluation of Haptic Feedback on Bimanually Teleoperated Laparoscopy for Endometriosis Surgery

“…Currently there are no standard endometriosis training models. However, many different inexpensive models have been proposed in the past for exercising suturing or cutting tasks (orange [37], or clementine [38], foam [39], various fruits and vegetables [40], grapes [41]). All these and several other models have been investigated, but non were found to respond accurately to laser actions providing a repeatable mechanical and haptic behaviour.…”

Development of Educational Material for Oral and Maxillofacial Training

“…The preclinical incision and suture training have usually been performed through sponge and molding material-related simulators [2], gypsum, molding material and orange peel [3], and animal tissue-based models. Although these methods have provided mucosa-like texture and skin, they do not simulate clinical conditions such as oval palate and alveolar ridge.…”

“…Regarding the previous published dental models [2,3], it was commonly observed a limitation of simulating different types of incisions on bone tissue to design mucoperiosteal flaps. Interestingly, the present model shows versatility for using by different academic levels of training (graduate and postgraduate), as well as for different specialties (surgery and periodontics).…”
