Prepare to enter the Emergency Room as a Medical Professional Student
The Apprentice Doctor® Emergency Room Simulation Pad is a unique type of simulation skin that offers students several realistic wound patterns like:
Straight-plain and straight-ragged, Wavy and Zig-zag, and V/Y-shaped lacerations – and the opportunity to design and create lacerations. These basic wound patterns cover about 95% of the type of wounds/lacerations confronting the average ER physician in the Emergency Room.
The Apprentice Doctor® ER-Sim-pad’s three-layered skin behaves a lot more like real human or animal skin – compared to the popular silicone skin pads supplied as part of most suturing kits currently on the market.
The Apprentice Doctor® Sim-skin Pad has double sided tape on the reverse side – stick your simulation skin pad on a smooth surface table or work bench.
Practice the most common lacerations that you will find in the Emergency Room:
Wound Suturing Gallery | |
Interrupted Sutures – at pre-marked lines | Interrupted Sutures – anchoring landmarks |
Horizontal mattress | Placing vertical mattress |
Continuous (running) suture | Continuous interlocking suture (last loop) |
Make your own laceration | E.g., a straight line for subcuticular suturing |
Place a subcuticular suture | |
V/Y-shaped laceration | Near-far far-near suture |
The The Apprentice Doctor® Emergency Room Simulation Pad should be used in conjunction with a good quality suture kit:
1. The Apprentice Doctor® Compact Suture Kit
2. The Apprentice Doctor® Standard Suture Kit
3. The Apprentice Doctor® Deluxe Suture Kit
Enjoy your Apprentice Doctor® Emergency Room Simulation Pad!
