Hey folks, just been chatting with urology nurses at work and wondering if anyone has or knows of medical models that could be 3D printed? Specifically something staff can practice putting a catheter in. I'm hoping there is something about so I don't have to sculpt a whole model

Sorry for the slow reply, I posted that while on lunch.

The thought was more to use the model as a teaching aid, a few of our patients go home with a catheter and its easier to demonstrate on a model rather than just images and explaining it, we have "Harry" who is an abdomen with genitals, but don't have a female model. I can see my search history is about to get super interesting.
