Microsurgical Wetlab

The Professor Lawrence Hirst Microsurgical wetlab is a world class microsurgical facility located at the Queensland Eye Institute. The wetlab houses microscopes connected to overhead monitors, allowing trainees to practise surgical techniques with a supervisor observing multiple video feeds at the same time.

Information

The wetlab was funded by a combined $40,000 grant from QLD RANZCO fellows and a $400,000 donation from Madeline Lenz, a very generous benefactor to the Queensland Eye Institute Foundation.

The wetlab is available for use by ophthalmology, plastic surgery, cardiothoracic and other microsurgical trainees to develop and enhance their surgical skills.
