Cartilage (articular cartilage) is the specialized connective tissue covering the articulating surfaces of bones within synovial joints.
Materials
| Material | Visual | Tactile | Simulator | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ABS | White UW Cricothyrotomy Simulator | 3D-printed thyroid and cricoid cartilage assembly with a mobile cricothyroid joint; STL geometry not recoverable from accessible secondary source. | ||
| Polyurethane Foam | White UW Cricothyrotomy Simulator | Three compliant foam rings representing the first, second, and third tracheal cartilaginous rings; foam grade, density, and dimensions not specified in accessible source. | ||
| Conductive foil (CPS sensor overlay) | D'Auria Cricothyrotomy Simulator | CPS sensor substrate: conductive-foil electrodes bonded to thyroid-cartilage (zone A), cricoid-cartilage (zone C), and tracheal-ring (zones D–F) surfaces on the White UW hardware to detect instrument contact. Cartilage simulation itself is provided by ABS skeleton and polyurethane-foam rings sourced from the White UW simulator. | ||
| TPE 90A | Chest Tube Simulator (Brannan) | Flexible costochondral joints between rib/sternum and rib/spine; TPE 90A absorbs compression without cracking the rigid PLA prints.[1] | ||
| 3D-printed trachea (print material not specified) | Cricothyrotomy Simulator (Calvo) | Palpable thyroid- and cricoid-cartilage landmarks of the cricothyroid membrane, integrated in the 3D-printed laryngotracheal model (Calvo et al. 2021). | ||
| ABS | Injection Laryngoplasty Simulator (Lee) | Single-piece 3D-printed laryngeal framework providing palpable thyroid-cartilage and cricoid-cartilage landmarks (with the hyoid bone) for locating the percutaneous injection laryngoplasty site (Lee et al. 2021). |
