TissueDB/Materials/Bovine trachea (ex vivo)

Ex vivo bovine trachea serves as a tissue-simulating material in medical simulation training. It suits training that needs tracheal anatomy, ring palpation, and needle puncture practice. Documented application: bronchoscopy-guided percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (BG-PDT) training. Kattan et al. mounted a 20 cm segment (from below the larynx to the carina) on a PVC half-pipe cradle. One segment supports up to 6 training iterations per specimen.^[1]

Trachea			BG-PDT Simulator (Kattan)	Real mammalian tracheal tissue. The operator palpates the cartilage rings and makes a needle puncture. One 20 cm specimen — taken from below the larynx to the carina — allows 6 iterations, at approximately US$1.7 per use (Kattan et al. 2019).^[1]
