Anatomy variants: healthy and subglottic stenosis
The Pediatric Airway Simulator is a high-fidelity procedural task trainer built for visual and anatomical accuracy, with realistic tissue dynamics. It supports practice of life-saving front-of-neck access (FONA) procedures, including needle cricothyroidotomy, as well as complex airway reconstruction work like slide tracheoplasty and laryngotracheal reconstruction.
Two anatomic variants ship in every kit. The Healthy variant provides normal pediatric tracheal anatomy for baseline technique. The Stenosis variant recreates subglottic narrowing for reconstructive training and diagnostic practice.
Each simulator is produced from CT-derived geometry using a silicone process designed to reproduce the feel of native pediatric airway tissue under a scalpel, needle, and endoscope.
What's included: One Pediatric Airway Simulator in your selected variant, a mounting stand, and a quick-start card. Ships from Ann Arbor, MI.
