I designed a free, 3D-printable vascular anastomosis simulator

Wait 5 sec.

I've been working on a low-cost, portable vascular anastomosis simulator that anyone can 3D print for free. It has four rotating, clampable arms to hold vessels and grafts, can be configured for deep or superficial anastomoses, and packs away into its own box, complete with tool storage and a sharps container. The aim is simple: to make practising vascular anastomoses at home more accessible to trainees. All the files are free. I'd really appreciate it if anyone with access to a 3D printer could print one, give it a try and let me know what you think! I'm particularly interested in feedback on usability and anything that could be improved.
