Description

Lifelike Anatomy and Feel: The model is a realistic representation of a human forearm and hand. It features a soft vinyl skin with a detailed texture, including wrinkles and fingerprints, stretched over a stitchable foam core. This construction provides a genuine feel during practice.
Multi-Layered Skin: The arm includes both a distinct skin layer and a subcutaneous tissue layer. This allows trainees to practice different suture depths and types, such as simple interrupted, continuous, and subdermal sutures, mimicking the complexity of real tissue.
Movable Fingers: The fingers are fully movable, which is a key feature for practicing wound closure in challenging and hard-to-reach areas, like between the digits.
Customizable Wounds: Instructors can use a scalpel to create wounds of various sizes, shapes, and depths anywhere on the arm. This flexibility allows for a wide range of training scenarios.
Durable for Repeated Use: The model is designed to be highly durable and reusable. Each wound can be sutured multiple times, and the material is strong enough to hold sutures without tearing, making it a cost-effective training solution.
Stapling Capability: In addition to traditional suturing, the arm can also be used for practicing surgical stapling techniques.
Ready to Use: The model typically comes with a starter package of sutures and an instruction booklet, allowing users to begin training immediately.
