Why structured skills practice matters
Working through ports removes tactile feedback and flattens the visual field. Skills such as two-handed suturing, controlled dissection and safe energy application are all significantly slower to acquire in theatre than at a bench station, where a movement can be repeated dozens of times without patient risk.
Device-specific behaviour is just as important as generic skill. Ultrasonic dissection, for example, behaves differently across tissue planes, and understanding the effect of sonotrode selection and irrigation before a first case shortens the learning curve considerably.
How MediGroup EBI supports training
We run and support device workshops that combine interactive presentation, dry-station testing and, where appropriate, cadaver-based technique enhancement, alongside in-service training delivered in your own theatre.
Training is available for every technology we distribute, and teams can request a session for a new device or a refresher for existing staff.
