Cotton
Cotton is used in surgical simulators to create padding or simulate soft tissue. Its absorbent properties make it ideal for representing fatty tissues or providing cushioning in models.
Definition
Cotton (from Arabic qutn) is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll, or protective case, around the seeds of the cotton plants of the genus Gossypium in the mallow family Malvaceae.
