paranasal sinuses surgical training model

MULTIMATERIAL AND MULTICOLOR PATIENT-SPECIFIC MODEL FOR ENDOSCOPIC SURGERY OF PARANASAL SINUSES

 

Reconstruction of anatomical structures of the facial massif by thin-layer CT scan in a patient diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis. The model was made by 3D printing Polyjet technology with Stratasys J720 Dental printer. Bone structures were replicated using rigid material and soft tissues such as turbinates and septal cartilage with a combination of rigid and rubbery resins. The patient-specific model was housed inside a special container on which the patient's face, made of silicone, was placed.

MONOMATERIAL PATIENT-SPECIFIC MODEL FOR MIDDLE AND INTERNAL EAR SURGERY (healthy patient)

Temporal bone reconstruction from CBCT scans of a healthy volunteer. Made by 3D printing SLA technology (white V4 resin). Post-printing filling of the main vessels and facial nerve canal with dyes. The dura mater was replicated using colored silicone.

OSSICLES BIOMODELS FOR OSSICULOPLASTY TRAINING

 1:1 scale and 3X magnified ossicles biomodels for training ossiculoplasty procedures training.

Biomodel replicating inner ear anatomy and acustic neurinoma

MONOMATERIAL PATIENT-SPECIFIC PATHOLOGICAL MODEL (ACOUSTIC NEURINOMA) FOR MICROSCOPIC DISSECTION

Temporal bone and major anatomical structure reconstruction of a patient diagnosed with acoustic neurinoma by thin-layer layer CT scan.  The model was realized by 3D printing SLA technology with White V4 resin, and the main vessels and facial nerve canal were filled with liquid dye so a fluid leakage could be simulated, replicating a real surgery complication. The model can be used to simulate all microscopic surgical approaches, including cochlear implant insertion.

MULTIMATERIAL PATIENT-SPECIFIC PATHOLOGICAL MODEL FOR ENDOSCOPIC STAPEDOPLASTLY

Reconstruction of middle ear anatomical structures (rigid and soft) from thin-layer CT scan of patient with stapes bone pathology. Fabricated by multimaterial 3D printing with a Stratasys J750 Digital Anatomy printer to replicate, as closely as possible, the tactile feedback of soft structures such as tendons, ligaments, and chorda tympani. The patient's auricle a was made of silicone.
