Abstract :
Simulators have been developed for the training of surgeons involving a plethora of surgical procedures. However, in many instances the simulators are large, require designated space and are relatively complex in their mode of operation. We have designed and implemented a versatile simulator that can be used for the training of surgeons to insert intra-arterial devices during operative vascular procedures.
