TraumaSim's Laceration Open Fat Layer Small is a self-adhesive silicone wound prosthetic presenting a deep laceration with visible subcutaneous fat layer exposed — a wound depth presentation that goes beyond surface skin disruption to reveal the underlying tissue layer beneath.
The exposed fat layer is a clinically and visually significant wound detail. It tells trainees immediately that this is a full-thickness laceration — one that has penetrated through the full depth of the skin into the subcutaneous tissue beneath. That depth distinction matters for wound assessment and management decisions: a full-thickness laceration with exposed subcutaneous tissue requires a different clinical response than a superficial skin laceration, and recognising that difference at a glance is a skill that needs to be developed through exposure to realistic wound presentations.
Visually, the exposed yellow-white fat tissue beneath the wound margins creates a distinctly different and more confronting presentation than a standard surface laceration — closer to what a responder will actually encounter with a significant soft tissue injury from a deep cut, industrial tool contact, or high-force impact. That confronting quality is training-relevant: trainees who have encountered this presentation in a controlled environment respond more effectively when they encounter it in the field.
The small format — 8 cm x 15 cm x 0.2 cm — is well suited to limb placement where deep lacerations from sharp tools, machinery, or glass are common and realistic injury scenarios. It applies cleanly to curved surfaces with tapered edges that blend naturally without visible borders.
To build a complete casualty presentation, apply Ben Nye stage blood and fresh scab around the wound margins, distress clothing to reflect the cutting or impact mechanism, and position the casualty in an environment consistent with the injury scenario — workshop, kitchen, industrial site, or trauma scene.
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 Open Fat Layer Small
- User Guide
- Full-thickness laceration with exposed subcutaneous fat layer: Presents wound depth beyond the skin surface — visually communicates full-thickness penetration for more advanced wound assessment training.
- Distinct from surface laceration prosthetics: The exposed fat layer creates a more confronting and clinically accurate presentation of a significant deep soft tissue injury.
- Develops depth assessment skills: Trainees learn to recognise full-thickness wound presentations and differentiate them from superficial lacerations — a clinically meaningful assessment skill.
- Compact format suited to limb placement: 8 cm x 15 cm — realistic for deep laceration presentations on forearms, hands, thighs, and lower legs from sharp tools, machinery, or glass.
- Self-adhesive silicone construction: Applies directly to skin, manikin surfaces, or clothing without additional adhesives.
- Tapered edges: Blend naturally onto curved surfaces for seamless presentation with no visible border.
- Durable and reusable: Washable silicone construction designed for repeated training use.
- Available individually and in kits: Can be purchased standalone or as part of TraumaSim moulage kit configurations.
- 11 skin tones available: Commonly requested tones held in stock; others manufactured to order.
What injury does this simulate?
A full-thickness laceration with exposed subcutaneous fat — a deep soft tissue wound that has penetrated through the complete depth of the skin to reveal the underlying fat layer. This presentation reflects significant lacerations from deep cuts, sharp tool or machinery contact, glass injuries, or high-force impact mechanisms.
Why is the exposed fat layer clinically significant for training?
It communicates wound depth immediately and unambiguously. A full-thickness laceration with exposed subcutaneous tissue requires a different clinical assessment and management approach than a superficial skin wound — including consideration of deeper structure involvement, bleeding from deeper vessels, and wound closure requirements. Training trainees to recognise this wound depth category at a glance is a meaningful clinical skill development objective.
How does this differ from other laceration prosthetics in the range?
Standard laceration prosthetics present surface wound detail — skin disruption, wound margins, and surface tissue. This prosthetic adds the exposed subcutaneous fat layer beneath the wound margins, representing a full-thickness penetrating wound depth that other surface laceration variants don't present. It's a distinct wound category, not just a variation in wound shape or size.
What body surfaces is this best suited to?
The compact 8 cm x 15 cm format is well suited to forearms, hands, lower legs, and thighs — common sites for deep lacerations from sharp tools, machinery, glass, and high-force cutting mechanisms. It applies cleanly to curved limb surfaces with the tapered edges blending naturally.
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 around the wound margins and into the wound face during scenario setup.
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 onto curved body surfaces.
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 8 cm x 15 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.
