Background
Medical students must be able to suture competently upon graduation. To learn suturing technique, students must have access to practice materials. The purpose of this pilot study was to develop a novel suturing trainer and to evaluate its ability to provide realistic and accessible suturing practice. A cohort of senior students at one institution compared the device with standard suture‐training media (porcine feet and sponges).
Methods
Using 3D printing and silicone casting, a novel suturing trainer was developed and a cohort of senior medical students trialed the device in a standardised suturing workshop. Participants evaluated the novel suturing trainer, porcine feet and sponges for simulating human tissue with regard to: (i) tissue layers; (ii) tissue texture; (iii) ability to perform interrupted suturing; (iv) running subcuticular suturing; and (v) knot tying.
Results
Compared with porcine feet and sponges, the suturing trainer had significantly higher mean scores (p |

The purpose of this pilot study was to develop a novel suturing trainer and to evaluate its ability to provide realistic and accessible suturing practice. A cohort of senior students at one institution compared the device with standard suture‐training media (porcine feet and sponges).

Results
Compared with porcine feet and sponges, the suturing trainer had significantly higher mean scores (p < 0.001) for the simulation of human tissue layers and texture, as well as for the ability to facilitate the practice of interrupted suturing, running suturing and knot tying. All (n = 32) participants identified the silicone trainer as the best tool upon which to practice suturing, and 92% (n = 23) responded that their suturing skills would improve if the silicone trainer replaced porcine feet and sponges.
Discussion
The silicone suturing device provides a more realistic and accessible suture learning experience than porcine feet and sponges. Further validation is required to assess its long‐term effectiveness in medical education.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1743-4971</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1743-498X</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1111/tct.13176</identifier><identifier>PMID: 32592314</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>England</publisher><ispartof>The clinical teacher, 2020-12, Vol.17 (6), p.650-654</ispartof><rights>2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd and The Association for the Study of Medical Education</rights><rights>2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd and The Association for the Study of Medical Education.</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c3256-3e8886659b129e7835e4183d59ee745e4f5b3bf8852034aebcb5fd40916f64c43</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c3256-3e8886659b129e7835e4183d59ee745e4f5b3bf8852034aebcb5fd40916f64c43</cites><orcidid>0000-0002-5252-5672</orcidid></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111%2Ftct.13176$$EPDF$$P50$$Gwiley$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111%2Ftct.13176$$EHTML$$P50$$Gwiley$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>314,776,780,1411,27903,27904,45553,45554</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32592314$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Boyajian, Michael K</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Lubner, Rory J</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Roussel, Lauren O</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Crozier, Joseph W</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Ryder, Beth A</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Woo, Albert S</creatorcontrib><title>A 3D printed suturing trainer for medical students</title><title>The clinical teacher</title><addtitle>Clin Teach</addtitle><description>SUMMARY
