Fabrication of dura mater model for medical simulator

Medical simulator is important to improve the operation skills with training system for medical doctors. In this study, dura mater model of human brain is fabricated to aim in reproduction of 3D structure. To mimic the physical properties of actual dura mater tissue, we propose a dura mater model in which are embedded a fiber sheet in a silicone resin. A tensile test was carried out to evaluate the effect of fiber sheet inside silicone resin.
