Fabrication of elastomer arterial models with specified compliance

A simple way of making elastic tubes using a mechanical lathe for precise control of the wall thickness is proposed in this study. These tubes are particularly useful for modeling properties of large arteries. Tubes with different geometric parameters and hence different elastic behavior have been made with a silicon elastomer (Rhodorsil RTV 1556). They have been created to be used for compliance measurements in hemodynamics research. Within a limited range of pressures, depending on the wall thickness, such tubes can be used to study models in which the compliance value is assumed to be constant.
