Construction and Evaluation of a Ballistic Gelatin‐Based Simulator for Transcervical Chorionic Villus Sampling

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a crucial prenatal diagnostic tool, but a declining number of procedures makes training a challenge. Here we describe a transcervical CVS simulator made from ballistic gelatin. Ninety‐three Maternal‐Fetal Medicine providers used the simulators during hands‐on workshops and completed surveys regarding their fidelity ...
