Abstract

The development of a heart model for medical training purposes in the current market is still new. The mechanical properties and the selection of materials become the main elements in determining the type of materials used. This paper highlighted to study of the mechanical properties between TPU Flex and silicon to determine the suitability of the material for the development of the CardioVASS heart model. Both of the materials were assessed by utilizing the tensile, compression, and hardness test methods to prove the validity of the materials for the CardioVASS heart model. Results suggested that the TPU Flex was superior to the silicon materials in terms of strength and durability.
