Weighted Surgical Knot Tying Practice Board

from $100.00

Weighted Surgical Knot Tying Practice Board

Master surgical knot tying with a stable, weighted trainer designed for deliberate practice.

The Weighted Surgical Knot Tying Practice Board is designed for medical students, PA students, residents, and surgical trainees who want to develop confident, repeatable knot-tying technique before performing these skills in the clinical environment.

Unlike lightweight trainers that rely on suction cups, the Leo Board uses a weighted metal-filled base to stay stable during repetitive practice.

The board incorporates multiple training stations so you can practice different aspects of surgical knot tying on one compact platform.

Practice:

  • One-handed surgical knot tying

  • Two-handed surgical knot tying

  • Instrument tying

  • Square-knot formation

  • Deep-space knot tying

  • Tying under resistance

  • Knot advancement and tension control

Three Training Stations

Tying Under Resistance
Use elastic bands across the adjustable tension towers to practice maintaining control while securing knots against increasing resistance.

Knot-Tying Arch
Develop smooth, repeatable one-handed and two-handed tying technique while refining hand positioning and proper square-knot construction.

Deep-Space Tying
Practice placing and advancing knots within a confined space to develop dexterity when access and visualization are limited.

Built for Repetition

Each board is individually 3D printed, weighted, assembled, and finished by hand. The compact design provides a stable training platform that can be used at home, in a simulation lab, or between clinical rotations.

Each board includes a two-color practice tying cord to make strand orientation and knot construction easier to visualize while learning.

Ideal for medical students, PA students, surgical residents, surgical interest groups, skills laboratories, and residency training programs.

Available in multiple colors. Select your preferred color above.

Current lead time: Orders placed during September will begin shipping in October 2026.

Key Features:
1) Tying under tension - Can use any rubber band (2 supplied when ordered). The band attaches to 3 tension towers. The band can be positioned with increased tension for added difficulty to simulate tying against tense fascia.

2) Tying arch - Practice your one or two handed tying technique by throwing knots over and over again to you master the perfect square knot --> Then practice some more!

3) Deep tying - In surgery we often work in tight and deep spaces where it is critical to ensure a precise closure of critical structures such as blood vessels, ducts, and bowel. This depth cylinder allows you to practice this skill of throwing expert knots before that important case that could very well save someone's life.

4) An ~ 3lb weighted base prevents the board from moving while mastering the surgical knot.

5) Can be used for hand tying practice

6) Compact! - only takes up 6in x 6in space
