Title

(EN) RUGGED MEDICAL MANIKIN WITH REINFORCED 3D-PRINTED INTERNAL FRAMEWORK

(FR) MANNEQUIN MÉDICAL ROBUSTE PRÉSENTANT UNE OSSATURE INTERNE RENFORCÉE IMPRIMÉE EN 3D

Abstract

(EN) A medical manikin limb comprises an outer simulated skin layer and an internal limb framework including a proximal frame member, a distal frame member, and a joint therebetween. The proximal frame member includes a proximal core plate extending longitudinally therethrough and a first plurality of 3D-printed parts attached to the proximal core plate and collectively occupying most of a volume, and defining a three-dimensional form, of the proximal frame member. The distal frame member includes a distal core plate extending longitudinally therethrough and a second plurality of 3D-printed parts attached to the distal core plate and collectively occupying most of a volume, and defining a three-dimensional form, of the distal frame member. The joint includes a pivot connector providing a single axis of rotation perpendicular to the proximal and distal core plates, and reinforcement plates configured to distribute a tension force through the joint among themselves and inhibiting orthogonal rotation.

(FR) Un membre de mannequin médical comprend une couche de peau simulée externe et une ossature de membre interne incluant un élément de structure proximal, un élément de structure distal et une articulation entre ceux-ci. L'élément de structure proximal comporte une plaque centrale proximale s'étendant longitudinalement à travers celui-ci et une première pluralité de pièces imprimées en 3D fixées à la plaque centrale proximale et occupant collectivement la majeure partie d'un volume, et définissant une forme tridimensionnelle, de l'élément de structure proximal. L'élément de structure distal comporte une plaque centrale distale s'étendant longitudinalement à travers celui-ci et une seconde pluralité de pièces imprimées en 3D fixées à la plaque centrale distale et occupant collectivement la majeure partie d'un volume, et définissant une forme tridimensionnelle, de l'élément de structure distal. L'articulation inclut un connecteur à pivot fournissant un axe de rotation unique perpendiculaire aux plaques centrales proximale et distale, et des plaques de renforcement conçues pour répartir une force de tension à travers l'articulation entre elles et pour empêcher une rotation orthogonale.
