Making and using a mouse pad model of skin to practice suturing techniques

摘要

The recent article by Olson and colleagues, "Foam Dressing as a Suturing Model," describes a unique and valuable model to enable dermatologic surgeons to teach or practice suturing techniques. Another recent article by Nicholas and colleagues, "Simulation in Dermatologic Surgery: A New Paradigm in Training," that emphasizes the importance of simulation training to enhance procedural skills supports the need for such a model.
