Core Concept

Our design

Our creative team set out to develop a low cost, realistic, and easily reproducible 3D printed trainer for just this purpose. One that allows learners to perform the procedure under graded levels of difficulty until they feel comfortable performing it on any anatomic variation they might encounter.
