TissueDB/Materials/PPR Pipe
PPR Pipe (Polypropylene Random Copolymer pipe) is a small-diameter plumbing pipe used as a bone analog in surgical simulation. PPR pipe is locally available in many countries and provides a rigid, drillable structure that approximates the resistance of cortical bone during drilling exercises.
