Polyester Batting is a synthetic fibre filling material used in medical simulation to replicate subcutaneous fat and soft tissue layers. Available in various thicknesses, polyester batting provides compressible bulk that simulates the tactile resistance of adipose tissue during incision and dissection.

Tissues

Tissue Visual Tactile Simulator Notes
Subcutaneous Fat Appendectomy Simulator 1 cm thick layer; thicker batting beneath skin; simulates obese-patient tactile resistance.
Adipose Tissue Appendectomy Simulator 0.5 cm thick layer; thinner batting deep to fascia plane; secondary fatty layer.
Subcutaneous Tissue (superficial fat layer) Open Appendectomy Simulator (Matthews) Yellow-dyed superficial fat layer above Scarpa's fascia.
Subcutaneous Tissue (deep fat layer) Open Appendectomy Simulator (Matthews) Yellow-dyed deep fat layer beneath Scarpa's fascia.
