Abstract

Aim: Orofacial clefts are prevalent with limited access to surgical correction. To address this issue our objective was to create a low-cost, high-fidelity, 3D-printed Veau class II cleft palate surgical simulator. Materials & methods: A 3D-printed Veau class II cleft palate simulator was designed using de-identified computed tomography data and computer aided design software. The simulator then underwent multi-institutional expert otolaryngologist validation. Results: The Veau class II cleft palate simulator was rated on a scale of 1–5; 3.8 as a training tool, 4.20 as a competency evaluation tool and 4.20 as a rehearsal tool. The simulator was also rated as very relevant (4.20) and very useful (4.60). Conclusion: The low-cost, high-fidelity Veau II cleft palate simulator was rated highly for physical attributes, realism, performance and usefulness.
