TissueDB/Materials/Synthetic skin pad
(Redirected from TissueDB/Materials/Tattoo Practice Skin)
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.
Tissues
| Tissue | Visual | Tactile | Simulator | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Skin | - | - | Peripheral Intravenous Catheterization Trainer | Tattoo practice skin used as the puncture surface (epidermis) over the wrapped pool-noodle armature in the IV cannulation trainer. |
| Skin | - | - | Bronchoscopy-Guided Percutaneous Dilatational Tracheostomy Simulator (Kattan) | Multi-layer pad punctured for needle and dilator passage; 9 iterations per pad.[1] |
Used In Simulators
| Simulator | Purpose | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bronchoscopy-Guided Percutaneous Dilatational Tracheostomy Simulator (Kattan) | Skin layers for percutaneous needle puncture and dilator passage to the underlying trachea | 15 × 30 cm, 6 mm thick, 3-layered (Training & Competence, Santiago, Chile); 9 iterations per pad; approximately US$2.2 per use[1] |
