Thoraco-Abdominal models are 2.5 mm , Intercranial vessels are between 1-1.5 mm with variations along the length, Venous models are 2 mm.

Yes, the vessel can either be sent back to Mentice for removal or device removal ports can be designed into the models for removal by the client.

All intercranial vessels are based on patient specific data. All idealized models are based on literature values. All vasculature can be fabricated based on patient specific DICOM data.

Yes, datasheets and additional measurements can be provided for any vasculature upon request.

Yes, any of our standard models can be mirrored to the other side of the head.

Yes, both dip-coated and larger vessels can vary be made thicker or thinner depending on a client’s need and manufacturability.

Current policy is no we cannot provide an stl. There are some situations that warrant the sharing of an .stl, but they are handled directly with the company and a charge applies.

Thoraco-Abdominal models have a shore hardness range of 15 to 30 Shore A, Intracranial vessels are around 25 shore A and Venous models shore hardness are around 15 shore A

Thoraco-Abdominal models are 60-65 pli and 320-700 psi respectively. Intracranial vessels are 125-150 pli and 1250-1500 psi respectively.

Yes, all our silicone vessels is translucent with a refractive index of 1.40.

Time can vary based on use cases but typically they last at least 1 year.

We can segment DICOM files from axial slices or modify stl, iges, or sldprt files to make vessels.

Tolerances are usually around 0.3mm.

For dip-coated vessels the smallest vessel diameter is 0.8 mm. For coreshell vessels the smallest vessel diameter is 2 mm.

 Anti-friction coating is a proprietary coating used to increase the lubricity of the silicone vessel to be more physiologically relevant.

Coating duration can be variable depending on use case and number of uses but it will typically last 6 months (rough estimate).

Yes, vessels can be sent back to be recoated for a charge.

There is not a visual indication but if you rub the vessel between two fingers and it starts to stick then the coating is likely wearing down.

There can be levels of coating, we can have a lighter coating or a thicker coating depending on the client’s specification.

We typically observe physiological pressures between 80-120 mmHg. Some of our systems can reach and handle 180mmHg.

We used femoral access as a standard but also offer radial and carotid access depending on the system. Custom access can be created.

The vessels are supported through a combination of plastic terrains that the vessels rest on and hard resin support parts that support the carotid and aortic root segments.

It varies between system but most of the systems can control flow, pressure and heart rate.
