The Contractor should provide a prepared surgical set per cadaveric table and a further 'clean' set for the simulation sessions. h. Provide two high-fidelity adult models for neurosurgical training simulation. i. Provide an audio system that allows all area coverage within a tented environment through a set of strategically placed microphones which feedback to a mixing desk allowing the operator to select the best microphone and feed it through the visual system. j.
