Welcome to CauterClay!

CauterClay is a low-cost, high-fidelity simulation model we've created for junior staff to practice nasal cautery on. It allows users to practice silver nitrate cautery technique (whilst receiving live feedback!) with a nasal model and simulated nasal mucosa. 

We're presenting this at ENT Scotland's Winter Meeting 2025 in Stirling. To make your own, simply print out our A4 template, roll out your air dry clay and trace our template. 

Assemble and you're good to go from there!
