▼This page is a material entry for the SELF Tissue Database.It documents the tissue applications, practical guidance, and related simulators for this material to support low-cost, reproducible surgical simulator development.


Wood (also known as timber, lumber) is a natural structural material used in medical simulation to provide rigid support, anatomical frameworks, and bone-like resistance for procedural training. Its workability with common tools and wide availability make it suitable for creating durable training model housings and structural components.
