Simulated constricted blood vessel and manufacturing method thereof

summary

This invention is an artificial blood vessel for modeling stenotic lesions caused by the calcification of blood vessels, and the manufacturing method thereof.

Elasticity near to that of an actual human constricted blood vessel can be obtained by mixing calcium carbonate powder with silicon, painting it on the narrow part of a mold, covering it with a polyethylene resin tube, and then coating the entire tube model with silicon.
