Abstract: A ballistic art shield that includes an outwardly-facing surface, an inwardly-facing surface, and a ballistic resistant material. The outwardly-facing surface has a generally planar configuration and the inwardly-facing surface is oriented in an opposing direction to the outwardly-facing surface. The inwardly-facing surface has a generally planar configuration and includes at least one handle that is adjustable to a low profile position with respect to the inwardly-facing surface. The ballistic resistant material is disposed between the outwardly-facing surface and the inwardly facing surface. The outwardly-facing surface includes a shroud for concealing the ballistic resistant material and has a disguised appearance resembling a wall-hung interior wall décor item.

Abstract: A medical model for teaching and demonstrating invasive medical procedures such as angioplasty. The model is a plastic, transparent three-dimensional, anatomically correct representation of at least a portion of the vascular system and in a preferred embodiment would include the aorta, coronary artery, subclavian arteries, pulmonary artery and renal arteries each defining a passageway or lumen. An access port is provided so that actual medical devices, such as a guide and catheter may be inserted to the location simulated blockage. Fluid may also be introduced to realistically simulate in vivo conditions. Simulated heart chambers of similar construction may also be attached to the aortic valve to further enhance the representation of invasive procedures.
