Description

Create soft-tissue models that look, feel, and perform like the real thing.

Humimic Gelatin #1 is a medical grade gelatin that offers a softer texture than Gelatin #0. It is formulated to replicate flexible muscle groups and tissue layers such as the neck, liver, heart, or healthy skin.

This synthetic gel is clear, pliable, and safe to use in clinical simulation, imaging, and procedural training. It holds its form, resists breakdown, and can be remelted and reshaped multiple times. Its softness allows for easy needle insertion and high-frequency use in hands-on education or device testing.

Gelatin #1 delivers excellent contrast for ultrasound, CT, and MRI imaging. It is moldable, non-toxic, and temperature-stable. Trainers and developers use it to simulate muscle, vascular access points, and organ-like density without needing refrigeration or organic materials.

Features:

• Softer than Gelatin #0 for flexible muscle and skin simulation
• Provides clear contrast in ultrasound, CT, and MRI imaging
• Reusable and remeltable without loss of performance
• Holds shape in training blocks and procedural models
• Odorless, non-toxic, and safe for lab or classroom use
• Compatible with medical-grade tan dye for realistic skin-tone coloring

Review

“We use this to simulate neck muscles and vascular access. The texture is perfect and it holds up well to repeated needle sticks.” — Skills Lab Coordinator

“Performs great with ultrasound and CT. Molded cleanly and reused without any breakdown.” — Radiologic Technologist

“Clear, stable, and no odor. Works much better than traditional gelatin for classroom models.” — Clinical Educator, Allied Health Program

FAQs

Q: Do I need an ultrasound machine to use this trainer?

A: No. This is a visual training tool that helps show probe movement and angles — no machine or screen needed.

Q: Can I use this with a linear ultrasound probe or a phased array probe?

A: This model is made specifically for curvilinear probe training. We offer other models designed for linear ultrasound probes and phased array probes.

Q: How do I clean it?

A: Just use a soft cloth with mild disinfectant. Avoid anything abrasive that could scratch the etched markings.

Q: Is there a warranty?

A: Yes. All Humimic training tools include a 6-month warranty that covers material defects under normal use.
