▼This page is a material entry for the SELF Tissue Database.It documents the tissue applications, practical guidance, and related simulators for this material to support low-cost, reproducible surgical simulator development.


Latex sheet (natural rubber latex) is a thin, elastic membrane used in surgical simulation to represent skin, fascial layers, and vessel walls. Available in various thicknesses (0.1–1.0 mm), latex sheet provides realistic elastic resistance for incision, retraction, and suturing practice. Latex is widely available from craft and medical supply sources at low cost.
