Urethral reconstruction on a replaceable insert.
SIMplasty is a silicone-based training model for pediatric hypospadias repair. It gives residents a resettable repair field for practicing suturing, glansplasty, and urethral reconstruction tasks while allowing instructors to evaluate technique across repeated trials.
Overview
Hypospadias repair involves small-scale tissue handling, urethral reconstruction, glans approximation, and suture placement.
SIMplasty creates a controlled environment where these steps can be practiced safely.



















Resettable model for repeated repair practice.
Designed around repeatability. A trainee can perform the repair task, replace the urethral component, and repeat the exercise in a standardized setup.
Tissue-realistic model for anatomy-focused repair.
Emphasizes anatomy and tissue interaction. It uses silicone materials and patient-informed geometry to support realistic tissue handling.
