Description

What this equipment is and what it's designed for.

Soft silicone pad made in three layers of different colours that imitate the skin. The top layer has integrated mesh so that it does not tear when sutured.

Any type of incision can be made with the scalpel. The pad accepts multiple sutures, which can be removed to start a new session; blood can be added for extra realism. A round-bodied needle should be used, as cutting needles can damage it.
