TissueDB/Materials/Synthetic skin pad

A synthetic skin pad is a multi-layered polymer sheet used as a tissue-simulating material for percutaneous procedures, incision practice, and suture training. Documented application: bronchoscopy-guided percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (BG-PDT) training, in which a 15 × 30 cm, 6 mm thick, 3-layered synthetic skin pad (Training & Competence, Santiago, Chile) is mounted over an ex vivo bovine trachea to support up to 9 training iterations per pad.^[1] This page documents a single product reference; equivalent multi-layer synthetic skin pads from other manufacturers can be substituted and should be documented as they are identified.
