Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for an injection training model that includes a base structure, an anatomical subassembly mechanically secured to the base, and a ballistic gel structure. The anatomical subassembly includes a first set of 3D-printed components manufactured from a first material, and a second set of 3D-printed components manufactured from a second material, wherein the first material has a greater stiffness than the second material. The ballistic gel structure encapsulates the anatomical subassembly and is transparent, repairable, and inorganic.
Claims20
An injection training model comprising:
- a base structure;
- an anatomical subassembly mechanically secured to the base, the anatomical subassembly comprising a first set of 3D-printed components manufactured from a first material, and a second set of 3D-printed components manufactured from a second material, wherein the second material has a greater stiffness than the first material;
- a transparent, repairable, inorganic ballistic gel structure that encapsulates the anatomical subassembly and is in contact with the base structure.
A method of forming an injection training model, the method comprising:
- providing a base structure;
- providing an anatomical subassembly comprising a first set of 3D-printed components manufactured from a first material, and a second set of 3D-printed components manufactured from a second material, wherein the second material has a greater stiffness than the first material;
- mechanically securing the anatomical subassembly to the base;
- and
- molding a transparent, repairable, inorganic ballistic gel structure such that it encapsulates the anatomical subassembly and is in contact with the base structure.
