TissueDB/Materials/Chalk

From Appropedia


Chalk is a calcium carbonate material used in medical simulation to replicate bone density and radio-opacity. Standard blackboard chalk sticks provide fluoroscopic interference similar to rib structures, allowing trainees to practise needle positioning around bony obstacles during percutaneous procedures.[1]
