Online published on 2 February, 2019. Abstract Background In medical faculty, clinical skills learning has been taught since the early years. Methods in clinical skills learning need media as mannequin and standardized simulated patient. The price of mannequins is expensive and its maintenance and the availability of spare parts are diffcult because of product import. Therefore, research and development of low cost and easily maintenance mannequin are needed to solve the problems. Aims To develop and validate low cost male catheterization mannequin as learning media in clinical learning. Method This was a research and development study. The research start with designing, making, then validating the mannequin. There are 18 validators who are anatomist, urologist, surgeon, internist, medical educator, and general physicians. Results There are 3 parts of the designed male catheterization mannequin, which are outer body part, penis part, and inner structure. The anatomy of the mannequin is alike with human body. It has light weight and portable. Another advantages are easier maintenance and cheaper than standardized mannequin. Although there is smooth leak in the urethral valve. Conclusion Mannequin produced from this research is alow cost and high technology product that can be use as learning media in clinical skills learning.
