Life/form® Suture and Staple Practice Leg

Life/form® Suture and Staple Practice Leg. Made with a soft vinyl skin over a core of stitchable foam to provide a lifelike suturing experience for students or a realistic suturing demonstration by an instructor. Realistic skin texture with wrinkles, pores, and visible fingerprints. Soft and pliable for easy sewing, the skin is tough enough that sutures will not pull out when tightened. The unit is provided with three “wounds.” These “wounds” can be sutured repeatedly until the skin around them is finally worn out; then, new “wounds” can be cut. Although disposable, the leg provides hundreds of suturing experiences before wearing out. Conservatively, over one hundred cuts can be made on the trainer and each of these cuts can be sutured several times. Comes complete with a starter package of sutures and instruction booklet.

Care of Simulator

• Do not use povidone-iodine prep solutions. These solutions will indelibly stain the leg.
• Cleaning – Use mild soap and water. Stubborn stains can be cleaned with Nasco Cleaner (LF09919U).
• Stains – The soft vinyl skin stains easily. Avoid contact with newspaper or other printed materials.
• Use only Glue-Off (LF01023) to remove residual adhesive from bandaging. Apply a thin coat. Allow to dry. Rub off in circular motion.
• Storage – When not in continuous use, it is recommended to store the simulator in the storage box furnished, or cover it with a cloth or sheet of plastic.
