Human Skin Suture and Staple Training Model- 12" x 12" Extra Large

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: 12" x 12" Weight: Approx. 11 lb.

A note of explanation: The images reflect a “Before” (unsutured) simulation model without representative skin suture and skin staple wound closures.

The model will accept any reasonable large 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.

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 #8008A for proper positioning for suture demonstration techniques.
