Skin Phantom for Surgical Suture Practice

The skin phantom is designed for training and practicing tissue dissection and surgical suturing skills. The large area of the phantom (18 x 18 cm) provides ample space for simulating various wound surfaces and their subsequent closure. Thanks to the realistic reproduction of skin layers, the phantom allows for mastering a wide range of basic surgical skills.

Using the phantom with the "Universal" trainer creates additional conditions for practicing more complex techniques. This tool will be indispensable for students, interns, and practicing surgeons, helping them improve their professional skills and ensure the highest quality of medical services.
