The Bicuspid Aortic Valve Model is a realistic cardiac surgery simulator designed to help surgeons and trainees practise surgical procedures involving bicuspid aortic valve anatomy.

This training model replicates the structure of a bicuspid aortic valve, a condition where the valve has two leaflets instead of the normal three. Bicuspid aortic valves are one of the most common congenital heart valve abnormalities, affecting approximately 1–2% of the population.

The simulator provides a realistic environment for practising aortic valve replacement, valve repair and cardiac suturing techniques. The synthetic tissue replicates the handling characteristics of real cardiac tissue, providing tactile feedback during cutting and suturing.

Simulation-based cardiac training allows surgeons to practise complex procedures repeatedly in a controlled environment, helping improve surgical precision and technical confidence before performing operations on patients.

The bicuspid aortic valve model is commonly used in cardiac surgery training centres, medical schools, teaching hospitals and cardiothoracic residency programmes.
