A LAPAROSCOPIC TRAINER

摘要

A surgical training device (10) for the practice of surgical techniques. The device (10) comprises an operation area (18) arranged to receive an operable structure and a screening wall (13) having an aperture (21). The wall (13) is positioned relative to the operation area (18) such that the wall prevents direct viewing of the operation area (18) from at least one position (19) external the wall (18). The device further includes an optical system comprising a first mirror (24) and a second mirror (25). The first mirror (24) is arranged to reflect a primary image of the operation area (18) to the second mirror (25) which in turn is arranged to reflect a secondary image of the operation area (18) that is visible from the external position (19). The position and orientation of the mirrors and the aperture (21) is such that only the secondary image of the operation area (18) is visible from the external position (19).
