Blood vessel models for medical training have been developed to represent realistic geometries and mechanical properties of the realistic blood vessels. However, few models were developed for assembling the other organ models. The purpose of this study is to develop a new blood vessel model which can be mounted on the Bionic Humanoid. The geometries and the mechanical properties of realistic cerebral arteries were represented using poly (vinyl alcohol) hydrogel (PVA-H) and silicone. We observed the PVA-H model can be ruptured depending on the force on the catheters and the guidewires during operations. This result cannot be observed using the previous blood vessel models produced from silicone or the other materials, and this observation indicates the PVA-H model can represent the realistic situations in operations.
