{"product_id":"traumasim-compound-fracture-rib","title":"TraumaSim Compound Fracture Rib","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eTraumaSim's Compound Fracture Rib with Bleeding Capacity is a self-adhesive silicone wound prosthetic presenting a medically accurate open rib fracture with exposed bone detail and integrated active bleeding capability — one of the most clinically complex and visually confronting wound presentations in the TraumaSim range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA compound rib fracture is a high-consequence thoracic injury with a management profile that demands rapid, confident clinical decision-making. The exposed bone, chest wall disruption, and associated bleeding raise immediate concerns beyond the visible wound — potential pneumothorax, haemothorax, underlying organ involvement, and the mechanical breathing compromise that significant rib fracture produces. Trainees responding to this presentation aren't managing a straightforward wound; they're managing a complex chest trauma casualty where multiple simultaneous clinical considerations need to be assessed and prioritised under time pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe anatomically accurate exposed rib detail communicates the injury severity immediately and creates the clinical assessment demand that the scenario is designed to develop. The integrated bleeding tube connects to an included 20 ml syringe for active haemorrhage simulation — role player or instructor activated — introducing the additional urgency of visible external bleeding alongside the internal injury implications of the fracture presentation. That combination creates a genuinely complex and high-stress training scenario that builds the clinical confidence and decision-making speed that real compound rib fracture presentations require.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eMechanism relevance is broad: motor vehicle accidents, crush injuries, blast trauma, falls from height, and direct high-force impact are all realistic compound rib fracture mechanisms — making this prosthetic relevant across military, tactical, emergency services, pre-hospital, and civilian trauma training programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eTo complete the casualty presentation, apply Ben Nye stage blood and fresh scab around the wound site, cut or distress clothing to expose the injury with mechanism-appropriate damage, and position the casualty consistently with the scenario mechanism. For blast and vehicle scenarios, environmental props and positioning that communicate the force involved significantly increase trainee immersion and the urgency of the clinical response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eEach unit is hand finished — minor variation in appearance and exact dimensions should be expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAll TraumaSim silicone wounds are self-adhesive, washable, and reusable. Available individually and as part of selected TraumaSim moulage kits, including the Advanced Trauma Moulage Kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAvailable 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TraumaSim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48230415958238,"sku":"80-2300100","price":177.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2232\/5125\/files\/OFR02BB-WEB_ONLY_10__13658-1536x1024.jpg?v=1780444661","url":"https:\/\/tacmedaustralia.com.au\/products\/traumasim-compound-fracture-rib","provider":"TacMed Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
