TissueDB/Materials/Animal Bone

Animal Bone is genuine animal-derived bone used in surgical simulation where a build needs real bone rather than a synthetic analog. The documented forms are porcine rib racks (ex vivo pork ribs, standing in for the bony chest wall) and animal long bone.

Bone			Multipurpose Thoracic Simulator (Carter), Long Bone Drilling Simulator	As a porcine rib rack (a 4–5 rib segment): supplies bone density and the intercostal spaces, so the thoracentesis needle and chest tube pass above a rib as in the patient.^[1] As animal long bone: listed as a bone-drilling option in the ETALO source matrix, though not demonstrated in the primary build (bamboo and PPR pipe are the shown variants).
