The Cardiac Anastomosis Model is a realistic surgical training simulator designed to help clinicians and trainees develop fundamental cardiac and vascular surgical skills.

This training kit includes a thoracic aorta conduit and a small saphenous vein, allowing surgeons to practise end-to-side anastomosis procedures commonly performed in cardiovascular surgery.

The simulator replicates the mechanical behaviour of real tissue, providing tactile feedback during vessel handling and suturing. This enables trainees to develop the precision required for delicate vascular procedures such as coronary artery bypass grafting and other cardiac surgical techniques.

Simulation-based surgical training allows surgeons, residents and medical students to practise procedures repeatedly in a controlled environment. This improves technical accuracy, hand-eye coordination and confidence before performing operations in clinical settings.

The model is widely used in cardiac surgery training centres, surgical skills laboratories, medical schools and teaching hospitals.

Training Applications

This cardiac surgery simulator can be used for practising procedures including:

• End-to-side vascular anastomosis
• Coronary bypass graft training
• Vascular suturing techniques
• Cardiovascular surgical skills training
• Surgical vessel handling practice
• Surgical skills laboratory training
• Medical student cardiac surgery education
• Surgical education workshops

These procedures are fundamental for developing cardiac and vascular surgical skills.
