The Cardiovascular Interventional Simulator is a fully modular heart and vascular training platform designed for repeated catheter-based training, device testing and experimentation. The silicone heart phantom is housed in an acrylic water tank, while vessel ports allow connection to off-the-shelf pumps and flow systems when required. Modular catheter-entry blocks reproduce the curvature of leg, arm and neck access routes and incorporate replaceable valves for repeated catheter and sheath insertion using the Seldinger technique. The radiographic realism can be achieved using 3D radiographic spine or x-ray test plates placed under the tank. The system can also be fitted with additional radiographic markers to further enrich the radiographic scene. The system can be assembled, disassembled and maintained with ease, with replaceable components.
