  • Publication number: 20250050551
    Abstract: Simulated anatomical components, such as simulated vascular vessels, and systems including the same. Such a system includes a housing, a simulated anatomical component inside the housing, and a simulated anatomical abnormality within a passage of the simulated anatomical component, the simulated anatomical abnormality formed as a material of an anatomical mold used to form the simulated anatomical component that has been partially removed to form the passage.

  • Patent number: 12128587
    Abstract: Simulated anatomical components, such as simulated vascular vessels, produced by a method that includes forming an anatomical component mold from a soluble polymer such that the mold defines an interior void of the simulated anatomical component. One or more layers of an elastomeric material is applied around the anatomical component mold and the material is allowed to cure to form a wall of the simulated anatomical component. At least a portion of the mold is dissolved to form a passage for liquid within the simulated anatomical component. Simulated anatomical components are connectable to other components of a surgical simulation system and can be modularized.
