Cambridge Polymer Group, Inc., has been using our patented hydrogel technology to develop synthetic tissue models that have similar properties and the feel of natural tissue. Our technology allows us to cast hydrogel constructs in a variety of shapes, with a range of specified mechanical properties.

Our initial work has been focused on arterial models, matching the compliance of aortic vessels. We have advanced our casting procedure to fabricate two-ply constructs and can include particulate matter to mimic lesions or plaque formation. Pores of varying diameter and concentration can also be included. Composite construct design is on-going.

Our work as continued into organ models, such as uterus and breast models. Contact us for custom model designs.

Applications:

• Phantoms for imaging technologies
• Test beds for device design
• Training tools for medical practioners

Cambridge Polymer Group is partnered with Pulse Anatomy to produce custom anatomy models made from our patented materials for use in clinical device development and professional education. Pulse replicates the anatomy using digital data as a starting point for the process of printing of rapid prototyped parts, creating molds and producing castings. Pulse's team includes digital designers, mechanical and electrical engineers, artists, sculptors, model makers and machinists. The process of developing a model with the Pulse and Cambridge Polymer Group team is a collaborative effort with our clients to ensure the final product meets the clients criteria. Please visit Pulse Anatomy for more information on model choices, or contact CPG.

The tubes can be cast in several sizes, as shown in the table below. Tube lengths can be as large as 12 inches, depending on the inner diameter. Custom sizes are also available.
