thingiverse

Medical students and residents can now learn how to drain pertonsillar abscesses (PTA) with a unique trainer that fits inside any human head model. This affordable task trainer is designed specifically for hands-on learning, making it easy to insert into existing models. To create an authentic oral cavity experience, simply paint the printed pieces to match the real thing. Next, fill a balloon with hair conditioner to mimic the texture and feel of pus. For an added level of realism, use a Halloween mask as a base and fill it with expanding foam sealant. Cut out a hole for the printed pieces and you're ready to begin teaching students how to drain PTAs in a controlled and realistic environment.
