This device is intended to add a preliminary step to the surgeon’s training, before using experimental animals, in order to reduce their number. In addition, the simulator provides several benefits, such as the acquisition of sufficient skills and abilities in the handling of surgical instruments that are used for the first time and in the familiarization with the anatomical conditions of the surgical field.

MICROSIMULAD®  simulator has been designed to produce a simulation of the vessels that are going to be found by the surgeon in a surgical reality. The intended exercise is to perform end-to-end and end-to-side vascular anastomosis. The simulator can be attached to a fluid pump, that would push the liquid inside, whereby the tightness, quality and permeability of different anastomosis can be checked.
