Gestonurse: Comparison of Modalities• Experiments were conducted on 12 graduate and
undergraduate students (8 males and 4 females aged between 20-30 years) on the completion of a mock surgical task simulating an abdominal incision and closure.
• The task required a total of 5 instrument classes: scalpel (1), scissors (1), needle (1), retractor (1) and hemostat (4).
