Area of Science:

Medical Education
Simulation Technology

Background:

Military medical training commonly uses moulage for realistic injury simulation.
Traditional moulage is effective but incurs significant costs in supplies, labor, and time.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and evaluate a cost-effective alternative to traditional moulage for military medical training.
To assess the feasibility of using illustrated temporary tattoos for injury simulation.

Main Methods:

Development of a library of illustrations for temporary tattoo moulage.
Testing and evaluation of the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of the tattoo-based approach.

Main Results:

The proposed temporary tattoo method offers a significant reduction in moulage costs.
The approach maintains training objectives with minimal impact on educational outcomes.

Conclusions:

Temporary tattoo-based moulage presents a viable, economical alternative for military medical training.
This method has potential for commercialization, improving accessibility and reducing resource burden.
