Prepare to enter the Emergency Room as a Medical Professional Student

The Apprentice Doctor® Emergency Room Simulation Pad is a unique type of simulation skin that offers students several realistic wound patterns like:

Straight-plain and straight-ragged, Wavy and Zig-zag, and V/Y-shaped lacerations – and the opportunity to design and create lacerations. These basic wound patterns cover about 95% of the type of wounds/lacerations confronting the average ER physician in the Emergency Room.

The Apprentice Doctor® ER-Sim-pad’s three-layered skin behaves a lot more like real human or animal skin – compared to the popular silicone skin pads supplied as part of most suturing kits currently on the market.

The Apprentice Doctor® Sim-skin Pad has double sided tape on the reverse side – stick your simulation skin pad on a smooth surface table or work bench.

Practice the most common lacerations that you will find in the Emergency Room:

Wound Suturing Gallery
Interrupted Sutures  – at pre-marked lines	Interrupted Sutures  – anchoring landmarks
Horizontal mattress	Placing vertical mattress
Continuous (running) suture	Continuous interlocking suture (last loop)
Make your own laceration	E.g., a straight line for subcuticular suturing
Place a subcuticular suture
V/Y-shaped laceration	Near-far far-near suture

The The Apprentice Doctor® Emergency Room Simulation Pad should be used in conjunction with a good quality suture kit:

1. The Apprentice Doctor® Compact Suture Kit

2. The Apprentice Doctor® Standard Suture Kit

3. The Apprentice Doctor® Deluxe Suture Kit

Enjoy your Apprentice Doctor® Emergency Room Simulation Pad!
