Dexter: a device for the assessment of microsurgical instrumentation and instruction of trainees.

Abstract:

:We present an easily constructed devise, which allows the testing and comparison of microsurgical apparatus, providing a numerical result for statistical analysis. It also enables the trainee microsurgeon to practise basic microsurgical skills in a safe environment. Construction and uses are discussed.
