A microirrigator.

Abstract

The need for a microirrigator and the requirements for one are outlined. The method of construction is described. This instrument has been used in a variety of situations, both experimental and clinical, for nerve and vessel repairs. Probably its greatest value has been as an irrigating probe, both for hydrostatic dilatation of vessels and for floating away small clots of blood.

Microsurgical training with beads.

To assist beginners in the microsurgical practices of handling instruments and tying knots before using an animal model, the authors suggest the use of colored beads. These beads will diminish eyestrain and secondary fatigue. Also, working with colored beads might be a little more amusing and enjoyable for beginners in learning microsurgical techniques during preliminary studies to achieve the necessary orientation for working under the operating microscope.
