Abstract
A bio-model for simulating a surgical procedure comprises a synthetic anatomical structure which has a cavity. A fluid system is coupled to the cavity. In one embodiment the fluid system allows fluid to be pressurized. In one embodiment, the fluid system allows fluid to flow through the cavity. The bio-model may be manufactured based on medical image data using three-dimensional printing.
Claims14
A bio-model comprising
- a synthetic anatomical structure defining at least one cavity, the at least one cavity having a fluid inlet;
- and
- a fluid system comprising a tube coupled to the fluid and configured to allow a fluid in the at least one cavity to be pressurized.
A bio-model comprising
- a synthetic anatomical structure defining at least one cavity, the at least one cavity having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet;
- and
- a fluid system comprising an inlet tube coupled to the fluid inlet;
- and an outlet tube coupled to the fluid outlet, the fluid system being configured to cause a fluid to flow through the cavity.
