Muscle is contractile tissue encountered in the abdominal wall during open surgical approaches, relevant to dissection and layered anatomy simulation.
Materials
| Material | Visual | Tactile | Simulator | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton Batting | Appendectomy Simulator, Open Appendectomy Simulator (Matthews) | Marker-striated muscle layers | ||
| Gelatin | Z-Plasty Simulator | Primary protein matrix (gelatin:glycerine:water 8:8:2). Microwave 30 s. Baste until jam consistency. | ||
| Glycerine | Z-Plasty Simulator | Co-ingredient (gelatin:glycerine:water 8:8:2). Plasticizer for the muscle recipe. | ||
| Wool | Z-Plasty Simulator | Structural fibre matrix. Use 1–2 handfuls. Soak thoroughly to immerse all fibres. Baste until jam consistency. | ||
| Red Felt | Trocar Placement Simulator | Two rectangular pieces 15 cm × 5 cm (6 × 2 in) tensioned across pen holders. | ||
| Sponge wrapped in white stretchy fabric (fascia) | Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair Simulator (Kurashima) | Sponges of varying thicknesses simulate the muscle layers on the multilayer insert. White stretchy fabric wraps around each layer to create the fascia. The source states the insert has five layers in total. The source does not say how many are muscle, nor their thickness. The source does not name the fabric type. Source: Kurashima Y et al. 2011, Surg Innov 18(2):171–175. DOI 10.1177/1553350610395949. PMID 21307013. | ||
| Polyurethane Foam | - | - | Synthetic Tourniquet Training Model (Souza Lima) | |
| Gauze cone, plastisol-coated | - | - | Emergency Department Thoracotomy Simulator (Misra) | The heart, and the primary target for pericardiotomy. The pericardium is a separate part, a red-dyed shower cap tied over it. Source: Misra A et al. 2024, Journal of Surgical Education 81(1):134–144. DOI 10.1016/j.jsurg.2023.09.009. PMID 37926660. |
| 3D-printed heart (filament not specified in source) | Chest Tube Insertion Simulator (Brannan) | Anatomically realistic 3D-printed heart set inside the thorax model; it is visible after pleural penetration and serves as an anatomical landmark. The heart stand-in resolves to the Muscle class via the Heart redirect (no dedicated Heart class yet).[1] |
