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. One segment supports up to 6 training iterations per specimen.^[1]
