Disposable gloves as an educational tool in teaching hand anatomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
A powder‐free latex glove of suitable size is chosen by a tutor to ensure a comfortable fit for the trainee’s hand. Basic outlines of bones, muscle and tendon attachments, blood vessels and nerves can then be subsequently drawn on with a pen, thereby providing the trainee with a useful visual aid [Figures 1‐3]. This model is particularly good for demonstrating incisions for surgical exposures for acute and elective procedures. Local flaps can be drawn and raised using double gloves of two different colours. Furthermore, this model can also be used to facilitate the understanding of hand injuries and their treatment to patients as well as hand therapists.
