A simple, low-cost simulation model using a towel and medical gloves can provide supplementary training for trainee cardiac surgeons learning coronary anastomoses.
To provide supplementary training for trainee cardiac surgeons, a simple method is required to simulate coronary anastomoses. By stretching 2 gloves over a towel, a model can be made that can be used to simulate a small coronary arteriotomy (including anterior and posterior walls). The graft can also be simulated using the fingers of the gloves.
