Key Features
Skin Tite® Silicone: This is a skin-safe, platinum-cure silicone that cures quickly at room temperature. It is designed to be highly realistic, flexible, and adhesive, allowing it to be applied directly to the skin to create simulated wounds, scars, and other special effects.
Thi-Vex® Thickener: This is a thickening agent that is added to the Skin Tite® silicone. By adding Thi-Vex®, users can control the viscosity of the silicone, making it thicker and more clay-like. This is useful for building up three-dimensional effects, such as deep wounds or raised scars, without the material running or sagging.
Biocompatible and Skin-Safe: The Skin Tite® material is a platinum-cure silicone, which is widely regarded as a skin-safe and biocompatible material, making it suitable for direct application to human skin.
Versatile Use: The combination of Skin Tite® and Thi-Vex® allows for a wide range of creative applications, from simple scars to complex, highly-detailed prosthetics.
Ease of Use: The product is a two-part system that is mixed by hand and can be applied with simple tools. It cures in minutes, which is ideal for time-sensitive applications.
Uses
Medical Simulation: The primary use is to create realistic, simulated wounds and injuries on standardized patients (actors) or manikins for medical training scenarios. This includes trauma, burns, surgical incisions, and other dermatological conditions.
Special Effects and Theatrical Makeup: The kit is widely used in the film and television industry to create realistic wounds, aging effects, and prosthetics for actors.
Emergency Medical Training: It is a key tool for training EMTs, paramedics, and other first responders in trauma assessment and wound care by providing a lifelike representation of an injury.
Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery Training: It can be used in some contexts for training surgeons on the closure of wounds and the handling of realistic tissue models.
