From Appropedia


Bone (osseous tissue) is a rigid connective structure that forms the skeletal framework of the body. It supports muscles, protects internal organs, and enables movement through joints.

Materials

Material Visual Tactile Simulator Notes
Animal Bone YesYesLong Bone Drilling SimulatorListed in ETALO Basic Simulator Matrix as alternative bone analog; not demonstrated in instructional videos.
Bamboo YesYesLong Bone Drilling SimulatorSmall-diameter stick (~12 mm); Variant A bone analog for basic bicortical drilling practice.
PPR Pipe Long Bone Drilling Simulator Variant B: small-diameter PPR (Polypropylene Random Copolymer) plumbing pipe held in play-dough stabiliser; bone analog for basic bicortical drilling practice.
PLA YesYesPediatric Forearm Fracture Simulator, Lower Limb Deformity Correction Simulator3D-printed bone models replicating cortical hardness (Shore 79D–93D) and bicortical anatomy; modular kits available for multiple fracture and deformity cases.
PLA Chest Tube Simulator (Bettega)3D-printed rib framework derived from a chest CT scan; provides rigid bony landmarks for chest tube insertion training. Filament grade inferred — not specified in Bettega 2019.
PLA Brannan Chest Tube Simulator3D-printed rib framework derived from a chest CT scan; provides rigid bony landmarks for tube thoracostomy training in a multifunctional thorax model. Printed on Ultimaker 3 with PVA support material. Filament grade inferred — not specified in Brannan 2021.
Plaster Bandage Partial Partial Man-O-War Chest Tube Simulator Plaster strips wrapped around cut plastic ribs; palpable through foam chest wall.
Pork Ribs Partial Yes Carter Multipurpose Thoracic Simulator Ex vivo porcine rib rack (4–5 rib segment); real bone tissue but smaller curvature than human ribs.
Chalk Partial No Ewald Percutaneous Renal Access Trainer Chalk sticks 10 × 1.5 × 1.5 cm embedded between polyurethane foam layers to simulate ribs 10–12. Provides fluoroscopic opacity and mechanical interference for percutaneous renal access training (VAS 8.8/10).[1]
PLA Partial Partial Micallef Hollow 3D-printed PLA bone fragments (Ecotough recycled PLA, 0% infill, 1.2 mm wall) representing infant proximal tibial head for intraosseous needle insertion training. Consumable — replaced after each use.[2]
Plastic Pipe Orthoplastic Reconstruction Simulator Cortex analog: 3 cm diameter pipe segments (15–20 cm), packed with sand and vegetable oil for medulla, placed with 0.5 cm fracture gap between segments for external fixator placement training.
Chalk--Percutaneous Renal Access Simulator (Ewald)
ABS--Injection Laryngoplasty Simulator (Lee)


  • Periosteum — membrane surrounding bone
  • Muscle — tissues requiring protection during drilling
  • Blood Vessel — structures at risk during drilling
  • Joint — articulation where bones meet
