Sternotomy Model
This model was made for a company specializing in cardiac surgery.
They needed a model that would simulate open heart surgery.
The ribs separated to expose the chest cavity. Features included
two soft rubber lungs, a diaphragm, and a small pivoting "table"
where a heart replica or pig's heart could be placed and manipulated.This
medical model was made of fiberglass, softened rubbers, and
plastics. |

The
Four-Chambered Heart
This model of a human heart was modeled from a casting of an
actual human heart. The heart was used in the sternotomy model
pictured above to be manipulated with surgical instruments for
demonstrative purposes. The heart body is cast in a single piece,
adding to its realism. It has four chambers, hollow aortic arch
and pulmonary artery, aortic and pulmonary valves, bicuspid
and tricuspid valves. |

Endoscopy
Demonstration Model
This model was made for a company that needed to demonstrate
its flexible endoscopy instruments at a recent trade show. The
instruments could be manipulated as they normally would be used
during an endoscopy procedure. The procedure could be viewed
through the clear thermoformed plastic anatomy. |

The
Endotracheal Model
This model was made as a courtroom presentation. It is a cross
sectional view of the anatomy of a 24 week old gestational infant's
tongue, trachea, and esophagus. It was made to demonstrate the
difficulty of intubation of such a small infant with such tiny
anatomy. |

The
Vocal Cord Model
This model was used as a courtroom demonstration to illustrate
both unilateral and bilateral paralysis of the vocal cords.
It is made of cast tinted polyester and tinted urethane rubber.
Each vocal cord can be moved into four different positions. |

The
Child Head
This child's head was sculpted to exact measurements supplied
by the client.It is a hollow casting made of polyester resin
which has been finished and painted to the client's specifications.
This model was needed quickly, as most are, and was sculpted,
cast, finished, and delivered within a week after receiving
of the client's purchase order. Not only did it serve the client's
function, but it looks pretty nice, too. |

Baby
Thorax Model
This model was made for a malpractice lawsuit. The attorney
needed a model to show how tiny the thoracic inlet is on a six
month old infant. In order to facilitate this, the anterior
portion of the model was made of clear thermoformed plastic.
The visible anatomy is the trachea, the esophagus, the vagus
nerve, the recurrent laryngeal nerves, the bracheocephalic artery,
the first rib, T1-T4 vertebrae, stylized ribs, and sternum.

The
Saccular Aneurysm Model
This is just one of four heart models used as courtroom evidence
for a malpractice case involving a saccular aneurysm on the
descending aortic artery. This model pictured had a fully thrombosed
saccular aneurysm. The heart and its parts were made of varying
degrees of tinted softened urethane rubber that had been assembled
to make an airtight seal. When the heart, which was hollow,
was squeezed by the expert witness, the aneurysm inflated to
twice its size. Two of the other heart models for this case
had varying degrees of inflation of the aneurysm. The fourth
model had a lymph node on the descending aortic artery.This
model was used to demonstrate how a biopsy would be performed
during surgery. |
