Simulators are increasingly being used in medical education, but accessibility is restricted by their elevated cost. A accessible and low-cost model was developed for teaching and learning vascular sutures and anastomoses at a Basic Surgical Techniques Laboratory. Latex balloons of varying colors, polypropylene 6.0 sutures, and other materials specifically for suturing (needle holder and forceps) were used. The balloons were fixed to screws inserted into wooden boards in order to facilitate repairs. E end-to-end, end-to-side, and side-to-side anastomoses and patching were performed. Anastomosis patency was tested by injecting water into one extremity of the balloon and observing the liquid exit via the opposite extremity. The advantages observed with this training model for anastomoses were malleability, resistance to passage of the suture, and the fact that it is inorganic. Latex balloons are an inexpensive option that are non‑perishable and offer prolonged use for teaching and practice of arterial sutures and anastomoses.
模拟器在医学教育中的应用日益广泛，但其高昂的成本限制了其普及。在基础外科技术实验室，我们开发了一种经济实惠且易于使用的模型，用于血管缝合和吻合术的教学。该模型使用了不同颜色的乳胶气球、聚丙烯6.0缝线以及其他专门用于缝合的材料（持针器和镊子）。为便于操作，将气球固定在插入木板的螺丝上。进行了端端、端侧和侧侧吻合以及修补操作。通过向气球的一端注水并观察液体从另一端流出的情况来测试吻合的通畅性。该吻合训练模型的优点包括可塑性、缝线穿过时的阻力以及其无机性。乳胶气球是一种价格低廉、不易腐烂的选择，可长期用于动脉缝合和吻合术的教学与实践。
