TissueDB/Materials/Microfoam Tape

Microfoam tape is a porous, flexible polyurethane-foam-backed surgical tape (3M Microfoam is the canonical brand) used in TissueDB simulators as a cricothyroid-membrane analogue. The Kei and Muller Cricothyrotomy Simulators apply a 3-inch (approximately 7.6 cm) patch of 3M Microfoam tape across the cricothyroid-membrane gap of a printed laryngeal insert; the tape yields to scalpel puncture in a manner analogous to the membrane and is replaceable between learners.
