Delegation of students and employees from Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University took part in Russia’s largest event in the field of simulation-based medical training. From October 12 to 14, 2025, Moscow hosted the 14th Congress of the Russian Society for Simulation Education in Medicine and the International Conference “Simulation-Based Medical Education: Experience, Development, Innovation.”
Ratmir Gafarov and Otabek Nurillaev, 6-year students of the Higher School of Medicine, won the annual competition for the best domestic developments in the field of simulation-based medical education, “Domestic Innovations in Simulation Training.” They presented their project “Simulator for Practicing Surgical Hemostasis and Vascular Anastomosis Skills.”
The students created a simulation device in the form of a silicone arm, with interchangeable modules in the forearm representing different types of injuries and pathologies for surgical skill training. The simulator is equipped with an electric pump assembled by the students themselves. The pump is programmed to adjust pulse rate and pressure using two regulators, ensuring a realistic imitation of blood circulation. The design also includes a blood collection reservoir that allows users to monitor blood loss during simulated procedures.
The simulator is intended for use in medical education and enables students to practice key surgical skills such as wound inspection and d-bridement, tying surgical knots, suturing, bleeding control, and vessel ligation. At advanced levels, students can also practice vessel mobilization and vascular anastomosis to restore blood flow. According to the project authors, training in conditions close to real-life situations significantly enhances the professional skills of future medical specialists.
