The FLS compatible Penrose Drain module is designed to help students demonstrate their skills in Intracorporeal suturing and extracorporeal knot tying. The module is made of Silicone thus improving the fidelity and enhancing realism.
The aim of the exercise is placing a seam in the place marked with dots. If seams are made outside of the trainer, knots need to be tied first and then tightened the wick with the knot pusher. When sewing inside the trainer, the knot should be made with the use of appropriate laparoscopic tools (needle holder and dissector are recommended).
After making the seam, the knot should hold and all gaps must be properly closed.
A 1 mm error in placing the seam is allowed relative to the marking. The insert can be wiped with a damp, soft cloth.
Instruments or threads not included in the module.
