Second-Degree Perineal Tear Simulation Model

These are second-degree perineal tear surgical simulation models.
This realistic model allows medical students to practice suturing vaginal tears from childbirth before working with real patients. This was a project that involved client negotiations, manufacturing and development, product testing, as well as pitching a product. This went beyond the scope of illustration and went into the realm of business practices often seen in biomedical communication.

I successfully attained a grant for the creation and production of this project by Augusta University Provost Student Research Program and I presented this model at Augusta University’s Innovate 2025 Pitch Competition and received second place. This event celebrates student and community innovation on campus and provided funding for further manufacturing.
