My group is making realistic, full-sized, medical models that provide a high-fidelity surgical experience.

Used for medical schools’ education and training, these durable, soft, silicone models can mimic nearly any organ or system (including normal, diseased, or patient specific) with tumors, bleed when incised, be scoped, sutured, etc.

I can’t help but think there may be potential for use or interactivity with some medical device items – but the students don’t know to ask, and both this group and I have little experience with what is available and where there may be opportunity to augment student learning.

Any ideas? Thanks so much! Barbara Duffy, [email protected].

P.S. We need more awesome groups like this!
