TissueDB/Materials/Bovine trachea (ex vivo)

Ex vivo bovine trachea is used as a tissue-simulating material in medical simulation training where tracheal anatomy, ring palpation, and needle puncture practice are required. Documented application: bronchoscopy-guided percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (BG-PDT) training, in which a 20 cm segment (from below the larynx to the carina) is mounted on a PVC half-pipe cradle to support up to 6 training iterations per specimen.^[1]
