    Purchased 150 castros and forceps for my students from a factory in Pakistan on Alibaba.com. Paid in advance. First time buying on this site and was a bit worried. They arrived safely and quality is very good. Globalization is great. Let the surgical simulation begin!

    Pericardial window and relief of tamponade. A few points: litres can accumulate slowly but 200cc can cause tamponade acutely. A window is a simple operation but potentially very dangerous as you are operating in a hole
