Silicone Vascular Models & Mock Vessels

What Are Silicone Mock Vessels?

Silicone mock vessels are physical replicas of human blood vessels used in place of real anatomy for endovascular device testing, catheter-based procedure training, and cardiovascular research. Made from transparent, highly elastic silicone, they reproduce the inner diameters, branching structures, and mechanical feel of physiological vessels — while letting engineers and clinicians watch every movement of a guidewire, catheter, or stent inside the lumen.

Zlinemed develops and manufactures silicone vascular models ranging from single test vessels to complete full-body anatomical simulations, all based on clinical imaging data so that lumen dimensions conform to physiological proportions.

Our Silicone Vascular Model Range

Full-Body Vascular Model + Pulsatile Pump System

This integrated system combines a full-body vascular silicone model with the CS-S001 pulsatile pump, creating an in vitro cardiovascular platform with pulsatile flow that mimics the human circulation. Device developers and physician training programs get a stable, repeatable, and visually intuitive environment.

Cerebral Artery Intervention Simulation Model

The Carotid & Cerebral Arterial Intervention Simulation Model ICA001 replicates the anatomical structure of the extracranial and intracranial arterial system, reconstructed from clinical imaging data for neuro-interventional training and device evaluation.

Aortic Intervention Simulation Model TAO001

The Aortic Arch Aneurysm Intervention Simulation Model accurately replicates the human aortic arch, its major arterial branches, and a clinically realistic aortic arch aneurysm — a complete platform for practicing catheter navigation and stent graft deployment.

Plate-Type Mock Vessels

For standardized bench testing, we produce plate-mounted straight and curved vessels in transparent, highly elastic silicone, with inner diameters and branching structures matched to physiological proportions. We can also customize international standard flat vessels such as F2394-X2.4 and F2394-X2.2 for device tracking and deliverability testing.

Applications

• Medical device R&D and evaluation — repeatable anatomical test beds for catheters, guidewires, stents, and delivery systems.
• Endovascular procedure training — realistic practice of navigation, crossing, and deployment under direct visual observation.
• Anatomical simulation for research — venous and arterial simulations with lifelike elasticity and geometry for flow and interaction studies.
• Sales demonstration and education — transparent vessels make device behavior visible to audiences in real time.

Customization From CT Data

Every anatomy is different — and so is every test protocol. Zlinemed builds custom silicone vascular models from customer specification parameters, CT imaging data, or physical samples: specific vessel diameters, lengths, tortuosity, lesion geometries, or complete custom anatomies developed from customer-provided imaging data.
