Standing on one side of the trainer box, participants used a running suture to approximate a 5.4-cm longitudinal fenestration in a 9.5-cmr-long, and 1.9-cm-wide (when flattened), thick-caliber Penrose drain. The Penrose, with five pairs of 2-millimeter diameter, black targets, each one 3 mm from the fenestration and spaced at 0.95 cm intervals. The suture, a braided 2-0 polygalactin 910, swedged on to a 26-mm, ½ curved tapered needle, was 20 cm long with an anchoring knot located 18 cm from the swedge point of the needle.
