Silicone tubes used for lacrimal system reconstruction have already been tested as temporary microvascular shunts. As a model of the small vessel, the silicone tube is used for initial training in microvascular surgery. It is useful for both teaching and practicing.

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.
