Abstract
A simulated airway for training and practicing medical procedures has an upper jaw having simulated teeth, a nasal passage, a tongue, an epiglottis, a larynx, a trachea, an esophagus, and vocal cords. Portions of the airway are reinforced with fabric. A method of making a human airway model for simulation of medical procedures includes sculpting a core for a mold from a resin material, depositing a layer of clay on the core, and placing the core in a mold. The layer of clay is removed and a polymer is injected into the mold.
