TraumaSim's Laceration Forked Deep is a self-adhesive silicone wound prosthetic presenting a deep forked laceration — a wound where the injury channel splits into two or more branches, reflecting the kind of complex tissue disruption produced by irregular sharp implements, multi-point contact, rotational tearing forces, or high-energy impacts against irregular surfaces.
The forked wound pattern is mechanically distinctive and clinically more complex than a linear laceration. The branching wound channels indicate that the injuring force acted across multiple vectors simultaneously — or that the wound extended and tore in more than one direction during the injury event. That complexity matters for wound assessment: a forked deep laceration requires the clinician to assess each branch of the wound independently, consider whether the depth and direction of each channel poses different internal structure risks, and make management decisions that account for the full wound geometry rather than a single linear track.
The "deep" designation indicates that this prosthetic presents wound depth detail — tissue disruption visible below the surface wound margins — adding the clinical dimension of wound depth assessment to the wound shape and pattern assessment that the forked profile develops.
At 10 cm x 10 cm x 0.2 cm it's a compact prosthetic well suited to placement across a range of body surfaces — hands, forearms, scalp, lower legs, and torso — where forked laceration presentations from sharp implements, glass, wire, or irregular impact surfaces are realistic injury profiles.
To complete the casualty presentation, apply Ben Nye stage blood and fresh scab into and around all wound channels, distress clothing to reflect the mechanism, and position the casualty consistently with the injury scenario. The branching wound pattern particularly benefits from stage blood applied along each channel independently to reinforce the multi-directional wound geometry.
All TraumaSim silicone wounds are self-adhesive, washable, and reusable. Available individually and as part of TraumaSim moulage kits.
Available in 11 skin tones: 00 Porcelain, 01 Light, 02 Medium, 03 Olive, 04 Medium Olive, 05 Rosy, 06 Warm Rosy, 07 Warm Tan, 08 Tan, 09 Dark Tan, and 10 Dark. Commonly requested tones are held in standard stock; others are manufactured to order — contact TacMed Australia before ordering if a specific tone is required.
- Self-Adhesive Silicone Laceration Forked Deep
- User Guide
- Forked deep laceration profile: Branching wound channels reflecting complex multi-vector tissue disruption — develops wound geometry assessment skills beyond single-channel laceration training.
- Deep wound detail: Visible tissue disruption below the wound surface — adds wound depth assessment to the wound pattern recognition demand.
- Mechanically distinct wound pattern: Reflects irregular sharp implements, multi-point contact, rotational tearing, or high-energy impact against irregular surfaces — a specific and recognisable injury mechanism.
- Develops complex wound assessment skills: Multiple branching channels require independent assessment of each wound track — more clinically demanding than linear laceration presentations.
- Self-adhesive silicone construction: Applies directly to skin, manikin surfaces, or clothing without additional adhesives.
- Tapered edges: Blend naturally into the surrounding surface for seamless presentation with no visible border.
- Compact and versatile: 10 cm x 10 cm — suitable for hands, forearms, scalp, lower legs, and torso placement.
- Durable and reusable: Washable silicone construction designed for repeated training use.
- 11 skin tones available: Commonly requested tones held in stock; others manufactured to order.
What injury does this simulate?
A deep forked laceration — a wound where the injury channel splits into two or more branches, reflecting complex tissue disruption from irregular sharp implements, multi-point contact, rotational tearing forces, or high-energy impacts against irregular surfaces such as wire, jagged metal, or broken glass.
What makes a forked laceration clinically more complex than a standard linear laceration?
The branching wound channels require independent assessment of each branch — depth, direction, potential internal structure involvement, and bleeding source. A forked pattern also indicates that the injuring force acted across multiple vectors, which informs mechanism assessment and helps establish a more complete picture of the injury event. Managing a forked wound also requires a more considered approach to haemostasis and dressing than a single-channel wound.
What does the "deep" designation indicate?
The deep designation indicates that this prosthetic presents visible wound depth detail — tissue disruption below the wound surface margins — adding wound depth assessment to the wound pattern and geometry assessment that the forked profile develops.
What body surfaces is this best suited to?
The compact 10 cm x 10 cm format is well suited to hands, forearms, scalp, lower legs, and torso — common sites for complex lacerations from sharp implements, glass, wire, machinery, and irregular surface impact mechanisms.
Is this a wearable wound or a task trainer?
Neither. This is a self-adhesive silicone wound prosthetic — applied to skin, manikin surfaces, or clothing. It has no internal function or strapping system.
Does it include bleeding capacity?
No. This is a static wound prosthetic. To add bleeding effects, apply Ben Nye Stage Blood and Fresh Scab into and along each wound channel independently during scenario setup — reinforcing the multi-directional wound geometry with the blood application pattern.
How do I apply it?
Peel and apply directly to clean, dry skin, a manikin surface, or clothing. The self-adhesive backing holds without additional adhesive. Tapered edges blend naturally into the surrounding surface.
Is it reusable?
Yes. All TraumaSim silicone wounds are washable and reusable. Clean gently after each use, allow to dry fully, and store flat to maintain the adhesive backing between sessions.
What skin tones are available?
11 tones are available: 00 Porcelain, 01 Light, 02 Medium, 03 Olive, 04 Medium Olive, 05 Rosy, 06 Warm Rosy, 07 Warm Tan, 08 Tan, 09 Dark Tan, and 10 Dark. Commonly requested tones are held in standard stock. Other tones are manufactured to order — contact TacMed Australia before placing your order to confirm availability and lead times.
What are the dimensions and weight?
The prosthetic measures 10 cm x 10 cm x 0.2 cm and weighs 0.05 kg.
Can I purchase this as part of a kit?
Yes. TraumaSim silicone wounds are available individually and in kit configurations. Contact TacMed Australia for details.
