Information on the Human Skin Suture Training Model

Note: For use with Ethicon, Medtronic or equivalent Surgical Suture Stapler and Remover. Staple Types: Stainless steel, titanium and composite plastic. Wire Diameter from .51 to .53mm, Depth 3.5 to 3.9mm.

This suture training model includes a layer of simulated skin, a layer of simulated fat and a layer of material to represent muscle mass. The bottom side reflects a simulated skin fascia layer only, no epidermis.

Size: 4" x 4" Weight: Approx. 1 lb.

A note of explanation: The images reflect a “Before” (unsutured) and an “After” (sutured) simulation model with representative skin suture and skin staple wound closures. The actual model, of course, comes to you without the suture/staple wound closure and prior to any cutting, etc.

The model will accept any reasonable surgical wound shape. Some instructors create a small wound, insert a small marble, "paintball", or similar object, and allow students to practice draining as an "abscess" wound, etc.

This trainer is a silicone composite construct meant to simulate living tissue. You should handle this trainer with the same level of care you would a cadaveric specimen. This trainer is a silicone composite construct meant to simulate living tissue. You should handle this trainer with the same level of care you would a cadaveric specimen. The TruSkin does not require any special preparation or disposal. It has an indefinite shelf life and should be stored in a cool, dry space.

You may experience a slight amount of "sweating" of non-toxic silicone oil. This is normal for new (freshly cast) inserts and will subside as the insert ages.

Wipe down with a clear soft rag to clean with a mixture of liquid dish soap and water, towel dry and coat with baby powder for easier handling.

Curved Plastic Holder with 4 Stabilizing Pins for Skin Suture Training Model is recommended and available as LFA #8006A for proper positioning for suture demonstration techniques.
