TraumaSim's Burn Blistered is a self-adhesive silicone wound prosthetic presenting a superficial partial thickness burn with blister formation — the characteristic wound presentation of a second-degree burn at its most immediately recognisable stage.
Blistering is the defining clinical sign of a superficial partial thickness burn — the fluid-filled vesicles that form as plasma leaks from damaged capillaries into the space between the epidermis and dermis. The presence of blisters is clinically significant: it confirms that the burn has penetrated beyond the superficial epidermis, involves the upper dermis, and requires a management approach that differs from a superficial first-degree burn. It also raises the important clinical question of blister management — intact blisters are generally left undisturbed as a natural wound dressing, while ruptured blisters require wound care. Training trainees to identify a blistered burn, classify it correctly, and apply appropriate management decisions is a core burn assessment skill.
The Burn Blistered prosthetic presents realistic fluid-filled blister detail across the wound surface — the three-dimensional raised vesicle appearance that makes this wound type immediately recognisable and clinically distinct from the flat, erythematous presentation of a superficial burn or the dry, leathery appearance of a deeper full thickness injury. That visual specificity is what makes this prosthetic training-valuable: trainees aren't just learning that burns exist, they're developing the pattern recognition to classify burn depth accurately from presentation.
Used alongside the Burn Large — which presents the flat, deeper wound surface of a significant partial to full thickness burn — the Burn Blistered adds the superficial partial thickness category to burn training coverage, completing a two-variant burn prosthetic set that spans the burn depth spectrum most commonly encountered in civilian first aid and emergency response contexts.
At 9.5 cm x 9.5 cm x 0.4 cm, the compact format suits contact burn presentations — hand, forearm, foot, and localised body surface burns from thermal contact mechanisms — as well as secondary blister formation on larger burn margins where the wound transitions from deeper to more superficial injury.
Manufactured from durable, life-like silicone with tapered edges that blend naturally onto skin, manikin surfaces, or clothing. Hand painted — minor variation in appearance between units should be expected.
All TraumaSim silicone wounds are self-adhesive, washable, and reusable. Available individually and as part of TraumaSim moulage kits including the Advanced Trauma Moulage Kit and Silicone Wound Kit — Trauma.
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.
Superficial partial thickness burn with blister formation: Realistic fluid-filled vesicle detail — the characteristic three-dimensional raised appearance of a second-degree blistered burn wound.
Burn depth classification training: Blistering confirms partial thickness burn depth and drives specific management decisions — intact versus ruptured blister management, dressing selection, and escalation thresholds.
Distinct from the Burn Large variant: The blistered presentation reflects superficial partial thickness injury; the Burn Large presents the flat wound surface of deeper partial to full thickness burns — together covering the burn depth spectrum.
Compact contact burn format: 9.5 cm x 9.5 cm — suited to hand, forearm, foot, and localised body surface contact burns where blistered presentations are most commonly encountered.
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.
Durable and reusable: Washable silicone construction designed for repeated training use.
Available individually and in kits: Included in the Advanced Trauma Moulage Kit and Silicone Wound Kit — Trauma.
11 skin tones available: Commonly requested tones held in stock; others manufactured to order.
What injury does this simulate?
A superficial partial thickness burn with blister formation — a second-degree burn where thermal injury has penetrated beyond the superficial epidermis into the upper dermis, causing fluid accumulation between skin layers and the characteristic raised fluid-filled vesicles visible on the wound surface.
Why is blister formation clinically significant for burn classification?
Blistering confirms partial thickness burn depth — indicating more significant injury than a superficial first-degree burn and requiring different management. The presence of intact blisters also raises the clinical question of whether to debride or leave intact — intact blisters are generally managed as a natural wound dressing, while ruptured blisters require wound care and dressing. Training trainees to identify blistering, classify the burn depth correctly, and apply appropriate management is a core burn assessment skill.
How does this differ from the Burn Large?
The Burn Blistered presents the raised, fluid-filled blister appearance of a superficial partial thickness second-degree burn. The Burn Large presents the flat wound surface of a deeper partial to full thickness burn — without blister formation, reflecting the skin layer destruction that prevents vesicle formation in deeper injuries. Together they present the two most commonly encountered burn depth presentations in civilian and emergency response training.
What is the management approach for a blistered burn?
Cool the burn with cool running water for 20 minutes — not ice. Cover with a non-adherent dressing. Do not burst intact blisters — they provide a natural wound dressing that reduces infection risk. If blisters have ruptured, treat as an open wound. Seek medical review for burns involving the face, hands, feet, genitalia, or circumferential burns, or any burn larger than the patient's palm.
Can this be combined with the Burn Large in a training scenario?
Yes. Combining a large burn prosthetic with a blistered variant applied to the wound margin or an adjacent area creates a mixed-depth burn presentation that reflects the realistic injury pattern of significant thermal incidents where different tissue depths sustain different burn depths from the same event.
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. Moulage materials can be applied around the wound margins for additional blister rupture or wound staging effects.
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. The raised blister detail has a degree of physical presence — apply gently to avoid compressing the blister profile during adhesion.
Is it reusable?
Yes. All TraumaSim silicone wounds are washable and reusable. Clean gently after each use — including the raised blister surfaces — allow to dry fully, and store flat to protect the blister profile 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 9.5 cm x 9.5 cm x 0.4 cm and weighs 0.2 kg.
Can I purchase this as part of a kit?
Yes. The Burn Blistered is included in the TraumaSim Advanced Trauma Moulage Kit and Silicone Wound Kit — Trauma. Contact TacMed Australia for details on other kit configurations.
