Hybrid Nerve Models for Neurosurgical Anastomosis and Coaptation Training
The LifeLike Hybrid Nerve Models are designed for precision neurosurgical anastomosis, nerve coaptation and microsurgical repair training. Unlike the standard LifeLike Nerve range, these hybrid models are compatible with certain polymerisation bio-adhesives, enabling educators to incorporate selected adhesive-based repair exercises into their simulation programmes.
About the Hybrid Nerve Models
The LifeLike Hybrid Nerve range provides simulated nerve structures in four diameters for developing precision nerve repair skills in a controlled training environment.
The smaller 1 mm and 2 mm models measure 3 inches long, while the 3 mm and 4 mm models provide a longer 6-inch working segment. This allows trainers to select a model appropriate for fine neurosurgical exercises, demonstration or more extensive nerve repair training.
Each model is designed for neurosurgical anastomosis training and is compatible with certain polymerisation bio-adhesives. Compatibility should always be confirmed for the specific adhesive formulation selected for the training exercise.
Key Features and Benefits
Four Nerve Diameters
Choose from 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm or 4 mm models to support different levels of precision microsurgical training.
Bio-Adhesive Compatibility
The hybrid material is compatible with certain polymerisation bio-adhesives for selected adhesive-based nerve repair exercises.
Neurosurgical Simulation
Develop nerve alignment, coaptation, microsuturing and anastomosis skills away from the clinical environment.

- Follow the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions and safety data
- Use only within a controlled education or simulation environment
- Test unfamiliar adhesive formulations on a small area first
- Bio-adhesive is not supplied with the nerve model
