Implementation and Utilization of a 3D Printed Hand Surgical Simulator for Surgery Residency Education

Abstract

developed a low-cost tissue-engineering perfusion circuit that facilitates the growth of large cellular constructs while enabling repeated live-imaging. Our devices can easily be replicated, with an ease of customization that makes them vitally effective for bench-to-bedside translational research. Our devices allow us to move toward the in vitro generation of vascularized tissue flaps that would facilitate reconstruction of the human body without donor-site morbidity.
