ABSTRACT
This short communication reports on the design and construction of a catheter manipulation skill enhancement phantom for use by residents and fellows outside the clinical environment. The phantom contains a variety of path trajectories and vessel diameter transitions, allowing trainees to manipulate catheters through vessel paths of varying difficulty. The multipath phantom, which is easy to construct and provides easily visualised paths, provides a simple, cost-effective training platform to facilitate and accelerate interventional training.
