Specs & features.
These pads are made of medical-grade, non-toxic, and hypoallergenic silicone. They are typically designed with a multi-layered structure that anatomically replicates the different layers of animal or human tissue (usually representing the epidermis, dermis, and muscle/subcutaneous layers). Pads feature various factory pre-cut lacerations and incisions, and also provide ample flat space for practitioners to create custom incisions.
No specifications have been listed.
- Built-In Tear Resistance: Contains an internal mesh layer ("anti-tear mesh" or "Duro-Mesh") that prevents suture threads from easily tearing through the silicone, allowing the pad to be reused dozens to hundreds of times.
- Multi-Layer Simulation: Mimics the distinct densities and textures of real tissues so trainees can practice full three-layer wound closures.
- Versatile Wound Patterns: Pre-cut with various shapes and complexities (such as straight, elliptical, curved, and V- or Y-shaped wounds) to simulate changes in tissue tension.
