The Double Layer Skin is a realistic surgical training model designed for practising suturing and skin closure techniques used in clinical procedures.

This model features two distinct tissue layers that simulate dermis and underlying fat, providing realistic tactile feedback during cutting, suturing and surgical closure procedures. The layered structure helps replicate real surgical scenarios where surgeons must work through different tissue depths.

The skin simulator is suitable for practising a wide range of surgical techniques including suturing, elliptical excision, primary closure and skin graft procedures. The model behaves similarly to human tissue, allowing trainees to develop accurate surgical technique and hand-eye coordination.

Simulation-based training allows surgeons, residents and medical students to practise procedures repeatedly in a controlled environment, improving technical accuracy and procedural confidence before performing procedures on patients.

The model can be used on its own, with a skin base holder or as part of suturing training kits used in surgical education programmes.

Training Applications

This surgical skin model can be used for practising a wide range of procedures including:

• Surgical suturing techniques
• Skin incision and closure
• Elliptical excision training
• Primary wound closure
• Full-thickness skin graft training
• Local flap procedure practice
• Plastic surgery skills training
• Surgical skills laboratory training

These procedures are fundamental to surgical and plastic surgery education.
