Surgeons Museum

Rib Spreader , Laparoscopy and Knot Tying

Timeline: 3 months

Client: Surgeons Museum - Edinburgh

Value: £8k

Aim:To work with the clients design team to create 3 interactive exhibits to compliment objects displayed in the museum

What we did: We designed an exhibit that allows visitors to experience what it’s like to open a patients rib cage using a rib spreader , this

was a challenging design as it has to show how much force is required and be able to stand up to the amount of visitors the museum sees

We used an actual rib spreader for this and actual tools for the laparoscopy exhibit that allows users to experience key hole surgery

The final exhibit allows visitors to try their hand at tying some of the knots used in surgery
