Abscess Pad

Description

Description: Basic model construction employs simplified versions of our patented SynTissue brand synthetic human skin, simulated abscess structures, subcutaneous fat and skeletal muscle. The skin layer is realistically textured on the surface and smooth on the subcutaneous side. It incorporates a natural wear layer of dead skin at the surface and three discrete layers (epidermis, dermis and hypodermis) that are grown independently from one another. This tissue was designed with extensive input from our medical device, hospital and military clients to exhibit realistic wound packing, puncture resistance, suture holding, and electrocautery, laser scalpel and plasma knife performance.

SynTissue brand synthetic human tissue components are designed on the basis of physical tests performed on actual living tissue. Each synthetic tissue is validated (tensile modulus, abrasion resistance, penetration force, coefficient of friction, thermal conductivity, dielectric constant, etc.) under the same physical conditions as the live tissue it is designed to simulate. The resulting synthetic tissue responds to stimulus much like the real living tissue.

Relevant Skills: Wound packing, injection, implantation, cutdown, incisions, suturing (muscular, subcuticular and subcutaneous), stapling and application of adhesives.

Included Components: One small pad (approximately 10cm x  10cm) with 1 abscess.

Equipment Compatibility: laser scalpels, electrocautery and RF ablation devices, harmonic blades, monopolar and bipolar devices, plasma knives, ultrasound equipment and all known imaging equipment.
