MD PVC-Rat

pvc-rat-blauw-klein.jpg (13295 bytes)The Microsurgical Developments PVC-Rat is an example of the replacement of living animals, one of the main goals of our foundation.

This Microsurgical Developments PVC-Rat is developed to master skills in microsurgery.

Using the model during training of scientists and animal technicians, the number of live-animals needed, will be reduced drastically.

It gives the possibility of training approximately 25 different microsurgical techniques.

Examples are anastomoses, cannulations and transplantations of vessels and organs.

As Microsurgical Developments is a not-for-profit foundation, we sell this model without any profit-purposes.

The MD-PVC-Rat comes in a carrying case, together with a video-user-guide, several spare parts and the computer simulation program "Remote".

Several parts of the model can easily be replaced, however, one can use vessels and arteries many times. 

Spare parts (e.g. vessels, artery's and organs) are available from Microsurgical Developments.
