Burr Hole Craniotomy Task Trainer
I designed and 3D printed this during my work term at MUN Med 3D in 2018. This is a medical simulator designed to train surgeons on an emergency medical procedure called a burr hole craniotomy.
The assembly is designed to have a replaceable/consumable insert in order to reduce costs for medical schools. The assembly is held together when clamped to the table.
The brain matter and skin layer is silicone, cast in a 3D printed mold. The replaceable section is ABS with a gyroid infill, which provides a similar tactic feedback as bone does when drilled into it.Â
Urinary Catheterization Task Trainer
This was another one of my designs for MUN Med 3D in 2018. This is a medical simulator designed to train students on the urinary catheterization procedure.
The design has a tube going from the genitalia to a simulated bladder (red), with a clear acrylic window so that students could get visual feedback on when the catheter entered the bladder. This allowed them, in turn, to associate tactile (feel) feedback with the visual feedback in order to gain an intuition for when the catheter is appropriately inserted.
The genetalia is silicone cast in a 3D printed mold, and the clear window is laser cut acrylic.
Note: This task trainer contains genitalia. If you wish to see the final product, then press/click the arrow on the right.
