A Practical Cleft Palate Training Model
Educational models are essential for training surgeons and making them familiar with experience- and skill-dependent operations such as cleft palate closure. The development of computer and 3D printer technology has allowed cleft lip and palate models to be produced and used for surgical training. H...

description | Educational models are essential for training surgeons and making them familiar with experience- and skill-dependent operations such as cleft palate closure. The development of computer and 3D printer technology has allowed cleft lip and palate models to be produced and used for surgical training. However, these technology-dependent models are not affordable and reproducible for surgeons in developing countries where cleft cases are more commonly seen. Thus, we aimed to create a cleft palate educational model prepared with play-dough and latex. The play-dough is shaped in the form of a palate and the cleft is created by scissors. Then, a latex glove is cut and applied to the dough to mimic the mucosal layer. The combination of the latex glove and play-dough lets the trainee perform surgical markings, incisions, elevation of the flaps, and layer closure. We think this easily producible model might be beneficial for demonstrating cleft types, surgical techniques, and improving surgical skills, especially in developing countries. |
