Hey folks, just been chatting with urology nurses at work and wondering if anyone has or knows of medical models that could be 3D printed? Specifically something staff can practice putting a catheter in. I’m hoping there is something about so I don’t have to sculpt a whole model

    A company in the US does it. Can’t remember it’s name.

    They are manufacturing realistic models (including “blood”) for doctors to practice complicated operations. As a data source, they use imaging from the patient.

    A major part of their business is the knowledge what resins they need to use (realistic feeling and cut).

      That sounds really cool, I’ll have to research that just for myself.
