The TraumaSim Combat TraumaWear — Open Humerus Fracture is a high-fidelity wearable trauma simulation unit replicating a severe open upper-arm fracture with active bleeding — developed from operational feedback from contemporary conflict zones, including injury patterns documented during the Ukraine conflict.
Open humerus fractures from blast, blunt force, or fragmentation trauma present a specific and challenging clinical management scenario that differs fundamentally from standard limb wound management. The wound is non-packable — the fracture geometry and soft tissue disruption mean wound packing is not the appropriate intervention. Instead, the clinical priorities are external haemorrhage control through direct pressure and wound dressing, fracture stabilisation to prevent further neurovascular damage, management of the significant pain and shock load this injury type generates, and careful casualty movement planning that protects the injured limb during evacuation. Training that decision-making sequence requires a casualty presentation that accurately communicates the injury type — and that's what this unit delivers.
The wearable incorporates a realistic open fracture presentation with exposed bone detail and extensive soft tissue disruption, plus integrated bleeding capability for active haemorrhage simulation. The strap-on design applies rapidly to role players for scenario setup without extended preparation time — critical in high-tempo training environments where instructor time and scenario throughput both matter.
Training outcomes align directly with TCCC and TECC principles: bleeding control for open upper-arm fractures, fracture stabilisation and casualty movement decision-making, assessment and prioritisation under tactical conditions, and confidence managing complex limb injuries in operational environments.
The Combat TraumaWear — Open Humerus Fracture forms part of the TraumaSim Combat Trauma Moulage Kit and is compatible with the full TraumaWear range and moulage accessories.
All TraumaWear units are hand finished — minor variation in appearance may occur. 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.
- High-fidelity open humerus fracture presentation: Exposed bone detail and extensive soft tissue disruption reflecting blast, blunt force, or fragmentation trauma to the upper arm — developed from current conflict zone injury data.
- Integrated bleeding capability: Active haemorrhage simulation for realistic external bleeding control training in the context of a non-packable fracture wound.
- Non-packable wound design: Supports correct decision-making around bleeding control method selection, fracture stabilisation, and casualty movement — not wound packing.
- Rapid strap-on application: Designed for fast role player preparation in high-tempo training environments.
- TCCC and TECC aligned: Training outcomes directly relevant to Tactical Combat Casualty Care and Tactical Emergency Casualty Care doctrine.
- Developed from operational conflict zone feedback: Injury presentation benchmarked against contemporary combat trauma patterns including Ukraine conflict injury data.
- Durable and reusable: Washable silicone construction built for repeated high-volume training use.
- Compatible with Combat Trauma Moulage Kit: Integrates with the full TraumaSim TraumaWear range and moulage accessories.
- 11 skin tones available: Commonly requested tones held in stock; others manufactured to order.
What injury does this simulate?
A severe open humerus fracture with extensive soft tissue disruption and active bleeding — reflecting the injury pattern produced by blast, blunt force, or fragmentation trauma to the upper arm in modern combat environments. The presentation is based on injury profiles documented in contemporary conflict zones including the Ukraine conflict.
What does "non-packable wound" mean for training?
A non-packable wound is one where wound packing is not the appropriate clinical intervention — the wound geometry, fracture involvement, or tissue disruption makes packing ineffective or contraindicated. For this injury, trainees must instead apply correct external haemorrhage control through direct pressure and wound dressing, stabilise the fracture to prevent further neurovascular damage, and plan casualty movement carefully. Training against a non-packable wound develops the clinical decision-making that differentiates between wound types and selects the appropriate management approach.
How does the bleeding capability work?
The unit includes integrated bleeding capability — refer to the included user guide for setup and activation instructions. The bleeding system supports active haemorrhage simulation during training scenarios for realistic bleeding control practice.
Is this a pull-on or strap-on application?
Strap-on. The adjustable strapping system allows rapid application to role players and accommodates a range of body sizes. It is also compatible with selected training manikins — refer to the user guide for manikin compatibility guidance.
What training doctrine does this support?
The Combat TraumaWear — Open Humerus Fracture is designed around Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) and Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) principles, with injury presentation developed from operational conflict zone feedback and current combat trauma treatment priorities.
Is it part of a kit?
Yes. This unit forms part of the TraumaSim Combat Trauma Moulage Kit — a complete advanced military and operational trauma simulation solution. It is also available individually for programs building custom TraumaWear configurations. Contact TacMed Australia for details.
Is it compatible with other TraumaWear products?
Yes. The Combat TraumaWear — Open Humerus Fracture integrates with the full TraumaSim TraumaWear range and is compatible with TraumaSim moulage accessories for enhanced scenario presentation.
Is it washable and reusable?
Yes. All TraumaWear units are washable and designed for repeated high-volume training use. Clean after each session and store appropriately to maintain the unit's condition between training events.
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 unit measures 38 cm x 25 cm x 4 cm (packaging) and weighs 0.5 kg.
Who is this suited to?
Military medical training programs, Defence simulation facilities, tactical law enforcement, advanced TCCC and TECC instructors, and emergency services training organisations delivering complex limb injury and fracture management training at an advanced operational level.
