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 | Yes | Yes | Appendectomy Simulator | Draw diagonal fibre striations; layers oriented in opposing directions |
| Gelatin | Yes | Yes | Z-Plasty Simulator | Primary protein matrix (gelatin:glycerine:water 8:8:2); microwave 30 s; baste until jam consistency. |
| Glycerine | Yes | Yes | Z-Plasty Simulator | Co-ingredient (gelatin:glycerine:water 8:8:2); plasticizer for muscle recipe. |
| Wool | Yes | Yes | Z-Plasty Simulator | Structural fibre matrix; 1–2 handfuls; soaked thoroughly so all fibres are immersed; baste until jam consistency. |
| Red Felt | Trocar Placement Simulator | Two rectangular pieces 15 cm × 5 cm (6 × 2 in) tensioned across pen holders. | ||
| Cotton Batting (external oblique) | Open Appendectomy Simulator (Matthews) | Cotton batting layer with marker-drawn striations representing the external oblique muscle. Striations are perpendicular to those of the internal oblique to convey opposing fibre directions. | ||
| Cotton Batting (internal oblique) | Open Appendectomy Simulator (Matthews) | Cotton batting layer with marker-drawn striations perpendicular to the external oblique striations, representing the internal oblique muscle. | ||
| Sponge wrapped in white stretchy fabric (fascia) | Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair Simulator (Kurashima) | Sponges of varying thicknesses simulate the three abdominal-wall muscle layers on the disposable multilayer insert, with white stretchy fabric wrapped around each layer to create the fascia. Specific thickness per muscle layer is not stated in the source paper. Source: Kurashima Y et al. 2011, Surg Innov 18(2):171–175. DOI 10.1177/1553350610395949. PMID 21307013. | ||
