Simulator design. In our “do-it-yourself” simulator model, a shoebox with an oval hole cut out of the lid is used to simulate a median sternotomy. Various modules are placed inside the shoebox to allow for simulation of multiple aspects of cardiac surgery. Each individual module is constructed from inexpensive, readily obtainable items, including felt, surgical gloves, nails, a wooden board, rubber bands, and balloons, as shown here.
