The First Zip is the Deepest



Now British medical students have a more realistic anatomical aid than those worn-out plastic models to identify their landmarks for surgical incisions. Thanks to our friends at Durham and Ulster Universities (UK), "Incisions" becomes the first surgical practice gown. Nine handy zippers mark the incision sites for appendectomies, thoracotomies, and cholecystectomies. The material within the zipper even feels like real human tissue!

So bugga off, cadaver lab...you have some less dodgy competition.

Oh, but if you'd only had this, you might have missed out on some time with Shirley.

BTW, you are sitting across the table from me and you think I'm studying. haha. (Really I have been, just taking a little break!)
