CLINICAL USE: SIMULATION / TRAININGSILICONE MODELS, REPAIR OF CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS LOCATION: ARAB HEALTH 2017 MODEL SOURCE: CT SCAN OR GENERIC DATA DESCRIPTION: The heart model for this simulation was 3D printed in silicone and intentionally softened to replicate the consistency of an infant's cardiac tissue. The model was nested in a set of 3D printed ribs to further increase the realism to the surgeon. The simulation included the closure of an atrial septal defect (ASD) in the 3D printed heart. OUTCOME / BENEFITS: The surgeon encouraged participation from the attendees,...

CLINICAL USE: MEDICAL RESEARCH 3D PRINT MODEL TYPE: RABBIT HEART ATRIAL WALL JOHN MOORES UNIVERSITY, LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND MODEL SOURCE: DESCRIPTION: a post-mortem rabbit heart was scanned by micro CT to In this study identify the electrical conduction system that controls the heart rhythm. The prints were commissioned by Professor Jonathan Jarvis and Dr Robert Stephenson with support from The Alder Hey Children’s charity, and working with their clinical colleagues Dr Caroline Jones and Dr Rafael Guerrero. The models were printed on a multi-jet printer which allowed several colours to be...
