A surgical training device (10) for the practice of surgical techniques.
The device (10) comprises an operation area (18) arranged to receive
an operable structure and a screening wall (13) having an aperture (21).
The wall (13) is positioned relative to the operation area (18) such
that the wall prevents direct viewing of the operation area (18) from at
least one position (19) external the wall (18). The device further
includes an optical system comprising a first mirror (24) and a second mirror
(25). The first mirror (24) is arranged to reflect a primary image
of the operation area (18) to the second mirror (25) which in turn
is arranged to reflect a secondary image of the operation area (18) that
is visible from the external position (19). The position and orientation
of the mirrors and the aperture (21) is such that only the secondary image
of the operation area (18) is visible from the external position (19).
