Vacuum Casted Blood Clot

Vacuum Casting for Medical Field

INAC’s vacuum casting service produces transparent flexible tubes for medical field applications. This blood clot reproduction model demonstrates our capability to manufacture medical training tools that combine transparency with flexible material properties.

Transparent Elastomer Material
The vacuum casted blood clot model is produced using elastomer-like material that provides flexibility and realistic handling characteristics. The material’s transparency enables visualization during training procedures for blood clot removal, allowing medical professionals to observe and practice techniques with clear visibility of the simulated clot within the tube structure.

Selectable Hardness Options
The elastomer-like material offers selectable hardness to match specific training requirements. Hardness A60-70 is available. This customization allows the training model to replicate the tactile properties of actual medical conditions.

Product Specifications
The vacuum casted tube measures diameter 0.31 inches with inner diameter 0.24 inches and length 4.25 inches. These precise dimensions enable accurate simulation of vascular structures for medical training purposes.

Medical Training Applications
This type of transparent flexible tube can be used for training to remove blood clots because of its transparency and flexible properties. The combination of visual clarity and realistic material behavior provides effective hands-on training for medical procedures.

Material Options
INAC’s vacuum casting service offers various elastomer grades with different hardness levels. The material can be colored or made transparent according to application requirements. Color variation options include clear, clear color, and solid color.

Please feel free to contact us to discuss your medical model and transparent elastomer casting requirements.
Our experienced designers provide support from concept through completion for medical training models and vacuum casting projects.

STEP5: Quality Assurance and Precision Inspection

A quality inspection is performed. At INAC, where quality comes first, we use CMMs, gauges, and other equipment for precision checks.

STEP4: Post-Processing and Finishing

Finishing is done by removing the supports, polishing, and applying transparency treatment. It is also possible to paint and apply plating to the formed product.

STEP3: UV-Laser Print Formation (SLA Process)

Output: The product is formed by irradiating the liquid with a laser beam of UV light and laminating it. The conditions of the external environment, such as room temperature and humidity, must be maintained.

STEP2: Model Program Generation and Support Adjustment

A program for model formation is created. Depending on the shape, it may be necessary to adjust the degree of tilt and the position of the supports.

STEP1: CAD File Submission

Upload your CAD to our online quoting platform.

STEP 3: Rendering and Scene Integration

We can also handle exterior modeling and interior structure design based on illustrations. After creating the 3D models, we can create a rendering to fit a scene. We can deliver images even if we do not proceed with production.

STEP 2: Detailed Design and 3D Modeling

Once the design is determined, drawings and 3D models will be created. The structure will be examined, taking into consideration not only the external design but also functionalities such as mating and sliding.

STEP 1: Initial Design Consultation

The first step is a meeting to discuss the project. Drawings are not required for this meeting. We will create a design from a sketch based on the overall image and concept that you have in mind.

STEP5: Quality Assurance and Inspection

We perform quality inspections. At INAC, where quality comes first, we use CMMs, gauges, and other equipment for precision checks.

STEP4: Post-Casting Finishing

Vacuum casting materials are cured and then taken out of the silicone rubber mold. Then we perform finishing such as deburring and gating, and they are made into finish products.

STEP3:Material Injuction

Liquid casting material is injected into the silicone rubber mold in a vacuum environment.　

STEP2: Mold Preparation

The silicone mold is cut open into a male and female mold, and the master model is removed.

STEP1: Mold Creation

The master model is fixed to a wooden frame and silicone is poured to create a mold.
