Diaphragm is the dome-shaped musculotendinous partition separating the thoracic and abdominal cavities.

Materials

Material Visual Tactile Simulator Notes
Disposable Mask Laparoscopic Diaphragmatic Repair Simulator Extend mask to flat rectangle; metal nosebands from 2 masks provide 4 attachment points; create defect for suture repair practice
Platinum-cured silicone rubber with posterior lateral defect Thoracoscopic Diaphragmatic Hernia Repair Simulator (Barsness) Source-rated 3.83 / 5 realism. Anchored to the 3D-printed neonatal rib cage with eyehooks installed around the 11th rib for stable fixation during suture practice in simulated thoracoscopic CDH repair.[1]
