    I’ll have to speak to them a bit more to work out exactly how detailed they need or want the model. If it’s just the female model, that won’t be awfully difficult, I can sculpt something if I absolutely have to with my beyond basic skills lol

    They really wanted the cross section to be able to show where the device sits and explain in better detail the operation that was done.

    The image my co-worker pulled up wasn’t super detailed, she wants something that can be shown to new staff and patients just so you get an idea of where the urethra and bladder is and how close they are to the vagina.

    Then for the male one, just to show how to hold the penis while inserting the catheter. This one will be more of a challenge since it needs to flex, the female one I might have to just model and hope for the best

    It wouldn’t need to be sterile at all, it’s just a teaching tool for patients before they are discharged home. Showing exactly where things go and why is much easier to understand when you can see it, an absolute ideal model would be a cross section.

    Sorry for the slow reply, I posted that while on lunch.

    The thought was more to use the model as a teaching aid, a few of our patients go home with a catheter and its easier to demonstrate on a model rather than just images and explaining it, we have “Harry” who is an abdomen with genitals, but don’t have a female model. I can see my search history is about to get super interesting.
