Silicone sheet is a thin, flexible sheet of cured silicone elastomer (polydimethylsiloxane, PDMS). It is sold by medical, craft and industrial suppliers in a range of thicknesses and hardnesses, cut to shape with scissors or a scalpel, and layered into models. No simulator in TissueDB currently records using silicone sheet, so this page carries no tissue rows.
