TraumaSim's Ulcer — Large is a self-adhesive silicone wound prosthetic presenting an advanced, extensively developed ulcer wound — a large, deeply coloured wound face with visible tissue breakdown and periwound erythema, representing a chronic or deteriorating ulcer that has progressed well beyond early-stage breakdown.
The visual contrast between the Ulcer Small and Ulcer Large is clinically instructive on its own. Where the Small presents a minor, early-stage wound centre in proportion to surrounding intact tissue — a wound at its beginning — the Large presents an extensively exposed wound face with significant surrounding periwound change — a wound that has been present, progressive, and inadequately managed or inherently difficult to heal. That contrast is exactly the wound progression narrative that structured clinical wound education needs to communicate: wounds don't stay small if underlying causes aren't addressed, and recognising where a wound sits on the deterioration spectrum informs urgency, management intensity, and escalation decisions.
The large wound face — prominently exposed, deeply coloured, with visible tissue breakdown detail and surrounding erythema — communicates advanced wound severity immediately at clinical assessment distance. It represents the wound presentation that warrants urgent wound care review, specialist referral consideration, and active management escalation rather than routine maintenance care. Training students to recognise and respond to that level of wound severity — and to understand how it differs from an early-stage presentation — builds the clinical assessment confidence and escalation decision-making that real patient care requires.
Used alongside the Ulcer Small, the two prosthetics create a wound progression pair — the same wound type at early and advanced stages — for structured wound assessment and deterioration recognition training. Combined with the aetiology-specific Arterial, Venous, Mixed, and Neuropathic variants, they complete a comprehensive ulcer simulation range covering both aetiology differentiation and wound progression severity.
Manufactured from durable, life-like silicone with tapered edges that blend naturally onto skin or manikin surfaces. Hand painted — minor variation in appearance between units should be expected.
All TraumaSim silicone wounds are self-adhesive, washable, and reusable.
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.
- Advanced ulcer wound presentation: Large, extensively exposed wound face with deep colouration, visible tissue breakdown, and periwound erythema — representing chronic or deteriorating ulceration requiring active management escalation.
- Wound progression teaching tool: Paired with the Ulcer Small, presents early versus advanced ulceration on the same format — the progression narrative that clinical wound education needs to communicate.
- Escalation decision-making training: The large wound severity communicates the need for urgent wound care review, specialist referral consideration, and active management response — distinct from early-stage maintenance management.
- Complements the aetiology-specific ulcer range: Adds wound severity staging alongside the Arterial, Venous, Mixed, and Neuropathic variants for comprehensive ulcer simulation coverage.
- Self-adhesive silicone construction: Applies directly to skin or manikin surfaces without additional adhesives.
- Tapered edges: Blend naturally into the surrounding surface for seamless presentation.
- Durable and reusable: Washable construction designed for repeated clinical skills training use.
- 11 skin tones available: Commonly requested tones held in stock; others manufactured to order.
What wound does this simulate?
An advanced, extensively developed ulcer wound — a chronic or deteriorating ulcer where the wound face has progressed to significant tissue exposure with deep colouration, visible breakdown detail, and surrounding periwound erythema and tissue change.
How does this differ from the Ulcer Small?
The prosthetics are a similar overall format size, but the wound face is dramatically different. The Ulcer Small presents a minor, early-stage wound centre in proportion to a large surrounding area of intact tissue — a wound at its beginning. The Ulcer Large presents an extensively exposed, deeply coloured wound face covering a significant proportion of the total prosthetic surface, with surrounding periwound changes — a wound that has progressed, deteriorated, or been inadequately managed. The two together create a wound progression pair for teaching wound deterioration recognition and escalation decision-making.
What clinical decisions does the large wound presentation develop?
Recognition of advanced wound severity requiring management escalation, urgent wound care review, and specialist referral consideration. The large wound communicates that routine maintenance care is insufficient — active intervention is required. Developing the assessment confidence to make that escalation decision from wound presentation is a core clinical skill this prosthetic trains.
What training programs is this suited to?
Nursing and healthcare education programs where wound assessment, wound progression recognition, chronic wound management, and escalation decision-making are curriculum elements — including undergraduate nursing, enrolled nursing, aged care, wound care specialisation, and clinical simulation programs.
Is this a wearable wound or a task trainer?
Neither. This is a self-adhesive silicone wound prosthetic — applied to skin or manikin surfaces. It has no internal function or strapping system.
Does it include bleeding capacity?
No. This is a static wound prosthetic. Moulage materials can be applied to vary wound presentation — fresh scab and stage blood for wound staging effects across different clinical chronicity scenarios.
How do I apply it?
Peel and apply directly to clean, dry skin or a manikin surface. 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 11 cm x 11 cm x 0.2 cm and weighs 0.1 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 on kits that include this wound.
