TissueDB/Materials/Latex Sheet
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.
