A novel simulated skin preparation enhances surgical training. This realistic model aids in teaching skin lesion excision and suturing techniques for both surgeons and general practitioners.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Surgical Education

Background:

  • Surgical training requires realistic models for skill development.
  • Existing models may not adequately simulate skin and subcutaneous tissue properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a new simulated skin preparation for surgical training.
  • To evaluate its utility in teaching skin lesion excision and suturing.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a composite material by bonding siliconized rubber to a latex foam base.
  • The material simulates dermal/epidermal and subcutaneous fat layers.

Main Results:

  • The simulated skin preparation offers a realistic tactile and visual experience.
  • It effectively models tissue behavior during excision and suturing procedures.

Conclusions:

  • This simulated skin preparation is a valuable tool for surgical trainees.
  • It can improve the technical proficiency of general practitioners in minor surgical procedures.
