Soap (bar soap, glycerin soap) is a solid, mouldable cleansing product used in surgical simulation as a very-low-cost substrate for basic needle-handling and suturing practice. It offers resistance to a needle but does not tear, deform, or layer like real tissue, so its use is limited to absolute beginners.
