The Math Every Program Director Runs

Consumable suture pads, single-use kits, and animal tissue are recurring costs. Every semester, every cohort, the supply order goes out again — and practice time gets rationed to make materials last.

The Synthesurg wound closure simulator is reusable. One purchase at $499 serves student after student, cohort after cohort. Instead of paying per practice session, you pay once — and the cost per stitch drops with every use.

Repetition Builds Competence

Wound closure is a motor skill. Confidence comes from volume — dozens of repetitions to build the muscle memory students need before the CST exam and before they ever assist on a real patient.

When practice materials are scarce, students get three attempts instead of thirty. A reusable model removes the rationing: every student practices until proficient, not until supplies run out.

Designed in the OR, Not a Catalog

Synthesurg was founded by a practicing certified surgical technologist who built this simulator because existing options didn't replicate what he actually sees at the table. It's a training tool designed by someone who scrubs in — refined by real operating room experience.

And because the inventor teaches, programs can pair the simulator with instructor-led suturing workshops — hands-on sessions no consumable pad vendor can offer.
