Erler-ZimmerSuture Arm

The Erler-Zimmer suture arm is a training model for surgical sutures in the shape of a forearm with hand and fingers. A soft vinyl skin lies over a suturable foam, so that hundreds of suturing exercises can be carried out. This suture trainer reproduces realistic tissue layers and suits repeated practice of wound closure.

The suture arm is used in medical education, in skills labs, in surgical training and in the practice of students and junior doctors. It is aimed at anyone who wants to master suturing techniques on the arm, hand and fingers.

• Training model for surgical sutures in arm form
• Soft vinyl skin over suturable foam for a realistic feel
• Three preformed lacerations on arm, hand and finger
• Allows hundreds of suturing exercises with repeated re-suturing
• Additional wounds can be created by the user
• The material withstands the tightening of the suture material

Because extra incisions can be made by hand, the suture trainer can be used beyond the three supplied wounds and covers different suturing techniques. The yielding material stops the suture from tearing out when tightened, which allows clean practice. Delivery includes a basic set for surgical sutures.

You can obtain the Erler-Zimmer suture arm at saneq for education and simulation training in Switzerland.
