## Abstract In the early stages of microsurgical training a model is required which is accessible, inexpensive, and approximates human tissue. In this research centre initial training exercises utilize cold stored vessels harvested from sacrificed animals used in other experiments. This model serve
Silastic tubes are used as training material for performing microvascular anastomoses. However, silastic texture differs from that of actual blood vessels. In the present work, we evaluate the use of preserved rat arterial segments for training in microvascular anastomoses. Onecentimeter-long rat ar
PracticeRat (Sharpoint, Reading PA) is a system containing a simulation vein, artery and nerve, designed as an alternative to live animal use in microsurgical training. We find PracticeRat to be more expensive than living models. However, it does decrease animal usage and provides a very convenient
