The blood a learner sees in these models is a substitute. The fake blood recorded below is dyed saline, water tinted with red dye or paint, or red liquid latex, used to make bleeding visible during training.
Materials
| Material | Visual | Tactile | Simulator | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saline + red food colouring | Peripheral Intravenous Catheterization Trainer, Hemorrhage Control Simulator (Malik) | Dyed-saline blood analogue | ||
| Normal Saline + red dye | Kei REAL CRIC Trainer | Red-dyed saline to simulate bleeding. | ||
| Water | Tourniquet Simulator, Wound Packing Simulator | Pumped circulating fluid | ||
| Red school paint + water | Synthetic Tourniquet Training Model (Souza Lima) | Red school paint mixed with water to a near-blood consistency. | ||
| Saline with food colouring + corn starch | - | - | Massive Hemoptysis Simulator (New) | Saline (or water) tinted with food colouring, with corn starch suspended in it to increase the fluid's opacity, as the simulated blood (New et al. 2024). |
| Saline stained with red food dye | Cricothyrotomy Simulator (Calvo) | Incising the skin produces visible bleeding (Calvo et al. 2021). | ||
| Water + red dye | Intra-abdominal Bleeding Simulator (Fernandes) | Water tinted with red dye as a simulated-blood substitute (Fernandes et al. 2023). | ||
| Red food colouring in water | Suction-Assisted Laryngoscopy and Airway Decontamination Simulator (Kumar) | Red-coloured water[1] | ||
| Red liquid latex | UGHE Low-Cost Soft-Tissue Simulation Module | The wound debridement model was painted with red liquid latex to represent blood (Wittenberg et al. 2025).[2] | ||
| Water + dye | Superficial Temporal Artery-Middle Cerebral Artery Bypass Trainer | Water dyed with Rifocin ampules simulates blood.[3] |
