Kochi (Kerala) [India], May 19 (ANI/NewsVoir): The largest cleft focused NGO in India, Smile Train andWith Simulare, surgeons have access to hyper-realistic 3D-printed models where they can learn and hone their surgical skills outside the OT. Its silicone components mimic the oral soft tissues of young children, providing the most accurate recreation of patient conditions.

This latest innovation advances our vision of providing care for every cleft-affected person and demonstrates our commitment to leveraging technology to further education and change lives."The one day 'Train the Trainer' Workshop for senior plastic and maxillofacial surgeons will undertake two surgeries, using lip and palate simulators.
