Cartilage (articular cartilage) is the specialized connective tissue covering the articulating surfaces of bones within synovial joints.

Materials

Material Visual Tactile Simulator Notes
ABS Injection Laryngoplasty Simulator (Lee), White UW Cricothyrotomy Simulator, D'Auria Cricothyrotomy Simulator Rigid 3D-printing thermoplastic; prints the firm laryngeal cartilage framework (thyroid and cricoid landmarks).
Polyurethane Foam White UW Cricothyrotomy Simulator, D'Auria Cricothyrotomy Simulator Compliant foam standing in for the softer, springier tracheal cartilage rings.
TPE 90A Chest Tube Simulator (Brannan) Soft thermoplastic elastomer; flexible costochondral cartilage joints that flex without cracking.[1]
3D-printed trachea (print material not specified) Cricothyrotomy Simulator (Calvo) 3D-printed laryngotracheal model; palpable thyroid- and cricoid-cartilage landmarks.
Silicone, Castable--Cricothyroidotomy Simulator (Gauger), Pediatric Front-of-Neck Access Simulator (Kovatch)
Cardboard--Cricothyrotomy Simulator (Aho)
Zip tie--Cricothyrotomy Simulator (Aho)


  • Bone — subchondral bone supporting cartilage
  • Joint — synovial joint surfaced by articular cartilage
