Area of Science:

Medical Simulation
Biomedical Engineering
Healthcare Education

Background:

Intramuscular (IM) injections are a fundamental skill in healthcare.
Current simulation manikins may lack realistic anatomical sites for practicing IM injections.
Standardized training environments are crucial for developing psychomotor skills in medical professionals.

Purpose of the Study:

To design and produce a thigh-mounted intramuscular injection pad for the SimMan 3G manikin.
To create a safe and effective simulation tool for practicing IM injections.
To offer a cost-effective solution for enhancing healthcare simulation fidelity.

Main Methods:

A prototype pad was initially created from a plastic bottle.
A plaster of Paris mould of the manikin's leg was used to shape the module.
Glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) was applied to the mould to fabricate the final waterproof and durable module.
The module was integrated into the SimMan 3G manikin's thigh.

Main Results:

A functional, waterproof, lightweight, and strong IM injection pad was successfully produced.
The module integrates discreetly under the manikin's skin, allowing for high-fidelity practice.
The developed pad enables practice without direct faculty supervision, increasing training efficiency.

Conclusions:

The thigh-mounted IM pad is a valuable and cost-effective addition to the SimMan 3G manikin for healthcare simulation.
This innovation improves the realism and effectiveness of training for administering IM injections.
The module facilitates independent skill practice, contributing to improved patient safety and procedural competency.
