OpenTibia is an open-source 3d printed training device for tibial IO access.
I created this based on the need for inexpensive and easily accessible training aid for medical communities in developing countries. I currently use this for training in Haiti.
Disclosure/Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with Ez IO, or its parent company Teleflex. I have received no compensation for creating this training device. My opinions of this simulation aid are based purely on personal experience as a critical care flight paramedic. Because the suggested materials have not been tested to prove accurate representation of bone or tissue density, this model could potentially cause damage to the IO insertion needle, driver, or prove inaccurate for correct simulation. Use of this device is at your own risk, and is not meant as a replacement for proper medical training. Please follow your own local policies, guidelines, and protocols.
Special thanks to Steph Piper (sjpiper145) for creating the original anatomic model!

The model was designed to incorporate a 20ml syringe of 20.5 mm nominal diameter. Actual size and fit may vary depending on manufacturer, and accuracy of your printer and settings.
The model is printed in two parts:
The OpenTibia base is designed to hold the smaller OpenTibia replacement site of the proximal tibial plateau. This allows for easy and inexpensive model restoration after several access attempts.
The skin is simulated with “foam” medical tape. Appoximately 4-5 layers should be sufficient to simulate the dermal layers lying superficial to the tibia.
Please contact me with any feedback or suggestions!

Thank you, I'm a respiratory therapy student and we only have one model to practice on and it is in horrible condition. This will help several generations of students better understand the process. If I ever run into you, I owe you dinner.

nice, any other models for medical simulations?:)

Do you print the replacement part with 100% Infill? I'm worried that there will be multiple "pops" as it goes through the layers of the replacement and then a third pop into the syringe. Also, did you print in ABS or PLA? I'm printing in ABS now but could do the replacement in either. Thanks!

I had fairly similar experiences with ABS and PLA. ABS seems slightly more “sticky” as the needle inserts, but both required similar time and amounts of pressure for completed insertion. I found that 75-80% infill “felt” like a realistic density, but I’m sure there are variables in layer adhesion and filament density that could affect this. Best to run your own test of several different infill densities to see what works best.

@@MedicDillahunty will do! Thanks a ton for your response, planning to use this for our flight teams educational outreach! I'll print a couple and we can play it by ear. Thanks again for the response and the model!

Myprixxx Happy to help! It’s pretty fun to see this model being used by programs all over the world :)

hola, es posible tener el archivo 3D para imprimir las tibias para nuestros alumnos, seria muy interesante implementar esta simulacion en nuestros cursos, gracias. espero se pueda enviar gracias [e-mail]
