Skin Pads

L&T unique skin simulation not only provides for incision, undermining, and suturing of wounds but responds and gives a life-like quality which is very important in the training process.

The suturing system which has been designed, and is constantly expanding provides for training in a range of techniques which are needed daily during patient care.



The Skin Jig (00130)

This well designed holder in 3 parts, provides for the large suture pad as well as a range of other pads; including those presenting different pathological conditions. Designed for ease of use and stability. Measures 155mm x 135mm.

Suture Pad with Non-stretch Epidermis (00050)

A composite structure comprising three layers; epidermis, dermis and subdermis makes up this comprehensive suture pad. A variety of procedures can be practised including cutting, suturing, knot-tying, undermining the epidermis to name but a few.

Suture Pad with Stretchable Epidermis (00060)

Large Suture Pad (00074)

A composite structure comprising three layers; epidermis, dermis and subdermis makes up this comprehensive suture pad. A variety of procedures can be practised including cutting, suturing, knot-tying, undermining the epidermis to name but a few.

Suture Pad with Sebaceous Cyst (00070)

This subcutaneous cyst, sitting within the dermal layer of the skin poses similar problems to the clinical situation. The full procedure of removing a sebaceous cyst can be taught. The cyst is realistically filled, the wall is sufficiently fragile and its adherence to surrounding tissue is consistent with that found in a patient. The student learns both incision and closure skills.

Suture Pad with Lipoma (00080)

The removal of the lipoma provides an experience which is very close to the real thing; the lipoma is sited within the fat layer and all layers can be identified. The approach from the incision to the lipoma including the shelling out of the lipoma and the closing of the wound is highly realistic. In-vivo adhesion is replicated precisely. Removal of the lipoma provides an experience that is very close to the real thing.

Cryotherapy Pad with Lesions (00110)

This product performs very well using the cryotherapy spray or liquid nitrogen. If correctly used the lesion and surrounding area will become white when frozen; this can be repeated several times according to normal practice. We would not however expect the lesion to drop out of the pad as it does in life.

The material used for this pad is water based and should therefore be kept sealed at all times when not in use.

Electrocautery Pad with Skin Tags (00120)

The tags can be removed using electrocautery, diathermy, or laser. (If the pad is used for diathermy it will need to be placed on a ground pad of the diathermy machine.) The material used for this pad is water based and has a limited shelf life.

Simple Pad for Adhesive (00051)

Composition of this pad is of a foam epidermis supported by a light coarse foam base; it is designed for the use of surgical adhesives.

The Full Face with Lesions (20001), is used to teach diagnosis, followed by use of these pads for treatment:

Curettage Pad - Scrape (00101)

The Seborrhoeic Keratoses are removed using the curette to provide extensive practice of femoval of lesions.

Shave Pad (00102)

Compound naevi are present for removal using a scalpel. The underlying structure is pinched between fingers and lifted to facilitate access for removal. Great care should be taken not to damage the fingers.
