What type of injury does this simulate?
A penetrating stab wound — reflecting the narrow, deep wound channel characteristic of a knife or sharp implement injury. It's a distinct presentation from blunt force lacerations, gunshot wounds, or fragmentation injuries, and is particularly relevant to assault, domestic violence, and urban trauma training scenarios.

Is this a wearable wound or a task trainer?
Neither. This is a self-adhesive silicone wound prosthetic — a stick-on moulage piece applied to skin, a manikin surface, or clothing to create a realistic wound presentation. It has no bleeding capacity, no internal function, and no strapping system. For wearable wound options with bleeding capacity, see the TraumaWear range.

Does it include bleeding capacity?
No. This is a static wound prosthetic. For a stab wound with integrated bleeding capacity, see the TraumaSim Stab Wound with Bleeding Capacity variant. To add surface bleeding effects, apply Ben Nye Stage Blood and Fresh Scab around the wound site.

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 products. Tapered edges blend naturally into the surrounding surface.

How do I build a complete casualty presentation?
Apply stage blood and fresh scab around the wound to simulate active or dried bleeding, cut or tear clothing to reflect the penetrating mechanism of injury, and position the casualty in an environment consistent with a stabbing or assault incident. This contextual layering significantly increases scenario realism and trainee immersion.

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.

What skin tones are available?
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.

Can I purchase this as part of a kit?
Yes. The stab wound is included in selected TraumaSim moulage kits. Contact TacMed Australia for details.
