The consumable for conjunctival suturing practice: one pad, around four training sessions.
The Pad 4 ConjSuturing is a 40 x 35 x 2.5 mm training pad that mimics the thin, mobile conjunctiva for practising conjunctival closure, peritomy and fine absorbable sutures. Each pad gives you approximately four conjunctival suturing exercises, depending on your technique and how much surface you use. The pads clip into the Holder 4 ConjSuturing, which attaches to the MatPro 4 Eye for a stable, non-slipping setup under the microscope. Made in Austria by eyecre.at.
Built in layers: a thin, mobile conjunctiva on top, a Tenon’s capsule layer underneath and a firm scleral base, separated by glide layers that let the tissue planes move independently, as they do in the eye. The conjunctiva slides the way it does during closure, and the sclera gives realistic resistance when the needle goes too deep.
What you can train:
Conjunctival closure with interrupted and running sutures
Peritomy and conjunctival flap handling
Fine absorbable suture placement (5/0 to 7/0)
Tissue handling with conjunctival forceps and Westcott scissors
Knot tying on thin, mobile tissue
Sold in packs of 4 pads (96 EUR per pack, 24 EUR per pad). Each pad individually packed in a resealable zip-lock bag. Requires: Holder 4 ConjSuturing, MatPro 4 Eye
