The Femoral Artery Training Model is a realistic surgical simulator designed to support the development of essential vascular and surgical skills.

This training model replicates the structure and behaviour of human femoral arteries, allowing surgeons and trainees to practise critical techniques such as end-to-end and end-to-side anastomosis. These procedures are fundamental to cardiovascular, vascular and general surgical training.

Available in small, medium and large vessel sizes, the model provides a flexible platform for practising surgical techniques across a range of training scenarios. Each vessel segment features realistic wall thickness and tissue behaviour, providing tactile feedback similar to real biological tissue.

Simulation-based training allows clinicians to practise procedures repeatedly in a controlled environment, helping improve precision, confidence and procedural competency before performing surgery in clinical settings.

Key Training Applications

This vascular training model supports a wide range of surgical training procedures including:

• Vascular anastomosis training
• End-to-end anastomosis practice
• End-to-side anastomosis practice
• Vascular suturing techniques
• Cardiovascular surgery training
• Vascular graft preparation
• Surgical skills laboratory training
• Surgical education workshops

The model provides a reliable platform for evaluating and improving vascular surgical skills.

Tissue Features

The training vessel is designed to mimic the behaviour of real vascular tissue.

Key features include:

• Realistic vessel elasticity
• Suitable for suturing and surgical instruments
• Easy to handle and maintain
• Ready to use in training laboratories
• Non-toxic and biohazard-free materials
• Odourless simulation material
• Available with optional plaque to simulate atherosclerosis

These features allow clinicians to practise vascular procedures with realistic tactile feedback.
