Abstract
A portable enclosure for simulating surgical conditions using endoscopic instruments. The enclosure contains a pump and fluid reservoir and a canister in which an animal or synthetic tissue sample is placed within an adjustable cavity. The pump circulates fluid to an endoscopic instrument external to the enclosure enabling an individual to practice either monopolar or bipolar instrument techniques within the cavity and under conditions that simulate real life operating conditions.
