I trying to locate a material to make casts of vascular structures.
I've seen some used in the past; one is more latex-like, the other
more acrylic-like. Ideally they should have viscosities that are
similar to blood so extreme pressures don't distort the geometry.
Also a protocol for digestion of the tissue that reveals the vascular
structure would be of help. I've seen pictures of a vascular network
cast placed over the bones of a joint, and would like to be able to
something similar.
I will post a summary of replies.
Thanks in advance,
John Cummings
