Abstract

We describe a new technique for manufacturing latex tubings with thin-walled aneurysms. The physical characteristics of the latex model with its compliance simulates important details such as shape, size, neck and the thin wall of an aneurysm. Therefore important aspects of neuroendovascular therapy could be simulated and investigated in-vitro.
