Description
Creates clear, consistent phantoms for hands-on training.

Heat the gel in a controlled setup, pour into molds, and embed targets as needed. The gel sets with a balanced firmness for needle work and ultrasound practice. It remelts cleanly for reuse when you need to reset a model or change your configuration.
