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. The source gives the ratio as "Ratio ( Gelatin:Glycerine:H20) - 8:8:2" and the step as "Microwave for 30 sec".[1] | ||
| Glycerine | Z-Plasty Simulator | Co-ingredient (gelatin:glycerine:water 8:8:2).[1] | ||
| Wool | Z-Plasty Simulator | Structural fibre matrix. Use 1–2 handfuls. Soak thoroughly to immerse all fibres. Baste until jam consistency. The source says "Mix in 1-2 handfuls of wool. Mix thoroughly so all fibres are soaked."[1] | ||
| Red Felt | Trocar Placement Simulator | Two rectangular pieces of approximately 6 in × 2 in (15.25 cm × 5 cm) 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 aorta models — a cone-shaped gauze structure coated with liquid plastisol. A shower cap filled with red-dyed fluid is tied to the heart model to mimic cardiac tamponade. Pericardiotomy is one of the three essential steps the trainer was built around. |
| 3D-printed heart (filament not specified in source) | Chest Tube Insertion Simulator (Brannan) | Anatomically realistic 3D-printed heart set inside the thorax model. |
