Ergode Suture Practice Kit, Reusable Silicon Suture Pad for Suture Training, 5x7” Durable Suture Pad to be Used by Students, Suture Kit for Training and Practice Red

Good sturdy material, Post-it note in photo for size reference. Works well if you want to avoid buying pig's feet. Also nice to buy this separately as opposed to the more costly package deals.

This is a helpful item to practice suturing. It does tear so I guess it is handy for practicing on semi-friable tissue.

Learning to suture. Why not, this works well!

It's good

I was looking forward to practicing suture skills on this pad, and brought home instruments from work (A driver, adson, and mayo). The concept of this pad is great, but here’s why it’s not good to practice on. When attempting to do a buried knot simple interrupted stitch, the silicone is not realistically as wide as an incision. So when bending it back with an adson (as you would pull skin up and back to get a good bite) the silicone just shreds. It is not flexible like tissue is. You’d have to use a ps-3 needle or something smaller to get in there and grab a bite - which is not realistic for practicing standard closing. Additionally, I attempted sewing with both vicryl and monocryl, and when tying a knot (albeit completely superficial and was just trying to salvage maybe some knot tying practice on this pad) the silicone again just tears when pulling the suture closed to knot. So it was ultimately useless and I’m kinda mad I bought 2 pads, thinking I’ll get to practice on them both. I’m returning both.

I had gotten this product to practice suturing techniques. It works well, and I like the different cuts on the practice pad, but the latex material tears with some of the sutures, especially with those that are more fine (ie 4-0 nylon). The silicone also has a slightly different feel than another practice pad I have used. Overall, it is giving me good practice with my suturing technique, but I do not think it will last as long as I had hoped.

En tiempo y en forma

Material is not even remotely like tissue. The suture pulls right through. There also is only 3 layers to it. It is supposed to be 5. Pretty disappointed.

Great for me to practice my suturing.

Buen material, no es el ideal para practicar puntos delicados como subdermicos o invertidos. Afecta bastante qué tipo de sutura usas, recomiendo catgut. Buena relación precio/calidad. Hay un comentario arriba de que está muy duro, todo lo que sea 4-0 para arriba no se une y es probable que lo corte al intentar anudarlo.

Schöner Gedanke. Nahttechniken kann man gut üben, allerdings reißen die Fäden häufiger aus. Er ist schwierig durch das Silikonpad durch zu ziehen und bedarf deutlichen Zug. Dann will man einen Knoten machen um die Wundränder zu adaptieren, aber der Faden reißt aus. Einen 5.0er konnten wir gleich wieder beiseite legen, er hielt den Kräften nicht stand. 3.0 hält vom Faden her. Somit kann die Technik geübt werden, aber bloß nicht versuchen fein zu nähen

Muy resistente, me sirvió muy bien.

it is great to start but it is quite sticky and collects dust which is then impossible to clean, and the sutures do tear out when trying to tie knots
