Amniocentesis and chorionic villous sampling (CVS) are essential ultrasound-guided diagnostic procedures in modern obstetrics, but their declining frequency poses challenges for clinician training. We present novel 3-dimensional (3D)-printed simulators designed to train practitioners in performing these procedures under ultrasound guidance. Our models combine 3D-printed components with medical gelatin to mimic the abdomen and pelvis of a pregnant patient. Customizable inserts enable realistic simulated needle targeting practice. This standardized, reproducible, and realistic training tool offers a valuable resource for improving ultrasound-guided procedural skills.

Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
