The IGI Suture Pad is an innovative and sustainable training tool designed to enhance practical surgical skills while promoting environmental responsibility. Crafted from repurposed used laApSi models, this eco-conscious product transforms discarded materials into a valuable educational resource. Its double-sided design allows learners to practise on both surfaces, maximising usability and extending its lifespan. As a suture pad, it provides a realistic platform for developing essential skills such as needle handling, knot tying, and wound closure techniques—core competencies for every medical student and aspiring surgeon. By enabling repeated, hands-on practice in a safe and controlled setting, the IGI Suture Pad supports skill refinement, builds confidence, and bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and clinical application.
