Nasal Osteotomy Task Trainer
This is a single-material model of a midface designed to provide procedural training of nasal osteotomy. To the normal anatomy, a platform was integrated into the facial structure to stabilize the model and for printing efficiency, unnecessary cavities that were not part of the region of interest were filled. The model was printed in white PLA. For training, the model was fitted with a modified commercially available silicon skin secured by a Velcro strap. Each complete, individual station consisted of a model for practicing the endonasal technique, a model for practicing the percutaneous technique, silicone skin to cover each model, a velcro strap, a mallet, curved osteotomes, and straight osteotomes.
