Abstract

Simulated training emerges as an important tool in medical education, although with high costs for most available simulators. Thus, it seeks to develop alternatives for learning surgical skills that improve the quality of education and are affordable. Thus, an artificial skin model was created as a substitute method for animal skin for teaching and training incisions and sutures in the education of medical students. Industrial silicone that was molded in synthetic leather was used to print marks similar to those found on the skin and fixed to a polyurethane foam support in order to represent the layers of human tissue. The raw material used provided all 9 molds with dimensions 10 cm x 10 cm x 3 cm, representative of human skin and the alternative model, presented satisfactory results, mainly in the structural aspect, being more faithful in the representation of anatomical planes and texture of the epidermis when compared to the use of fabric and other synthetic materials such as satin vinyl foam (EVA), combined with greater ease of storage, handling, and possibility of reuse.
