Leg Simulator

The Leg Simulator is a life-like simulator with realistic vascular flow. Four dedicated inlays at the level of the popliteal artery and the fibular artery are available. On the leg simulator a wide range of vascular surgical procedures can be trained. Not only precise technique but also effective assistance is crucial and can be practiced. Suture leakages are exposed and additional stitches, as well as tunneling between separate incisions, can be exercised. The leg simulator is also an ideal tool to discuss surgical strategies and decision-making in peripheral vascular surgery.

Imaging, Preprocessing

Training in imaging and preprocessing for endovascular surgery is essential in this rapidly evolving field. Precise analysis and measurements are key and optimizes procedural planning and therefore proper device selection and strategic procedure planning. Training includes recognizing potential complications that can be identified through imaging, such as dissections, perforations, or thrombosis following endovascular interventions. As technology advances, ongoing education in imaging modalities and preprocessing methods will remain integral to the practice of endovascular surgery.

Leg Arteries, Anastomosis, Bypass

Training on leg arteries, anastomosis, and bypass procedures is crucial for developing the skills necessary to perform vascular surgeries safely and effectively. Comprehensive training that combines anatomy, proper surgical techniques, and patient care will prepare surgical trainees to deliver high-quality vascular care. Even in the endovascular era, vascular surgery training remains critically important for managing the growing elderly population for several reasons.
