Overview

Humimic SimuGel™ #1 offers a modest reduction in resistance compared to SimuGel™ #0 while maintaining similar clarity, handling, and ultrasound compatibility. It is often chosen for training environments that benefit from easier needle advancement and a more forgiving tactile response. 

 

This formulation is commonly used when learner comfort, repeatability, and controlled insertion force are priorities. SimuGel™ #1 supports ultrasound-guided procedures and remains mechanically stable through repeated use and remolding. 

 

Typical Use Scenarios 

  • Ultrasound-guided training with reduced insertion force 
  • Early-stage clinical instruction 
  • Repetitive procedural practice 
  • Device testing requiring slightly lower resistance 

Specifications

  • Weight: 1 lb per unit
  • Dimensions: 4.5 × 7.1 × 1 in
  • Volume: ~32 cubic inches per pound
  • Color: Clear (dye-compatible)
  • Temperature stability: Up to 190°F (88°C)
  • Ultrasound compatible: Linear probes
  • Remoldable and reusable
  • Storage: Cool, dry place away from sunlight
  • Shelf-stable (no refrigeration required)

Safety Note: Use caution when working with heated material. Allow adequate cooling time before handling. Implement appropriate lab safety procedures during all melting operations.

Settled gel dimensions are approximate and will fluctuate based on molding configuration and cooling conditions.

Technicals

Mechanical & Acoustic Overview 

Each SimuGel™ formulation is mechanically and acoustically characterized to ensure consistent, repeatable performance across training and testing environments. 

  • Mechanical validation: Batches are compression- and needle-tested using standardized methods to verify resistance, deformation, and recovery behavior. 
  • Batch consistency: Reported website values represent validated population ranges; batch-specific results are provided on the Certificate of Analysis included with each unit. 
  • Ultrasound compatibility: SimuGel™ supports ultrasound imaging with predictable acoustic behavior across common clinical frequencies. 
  • System-based design: Mechanical and acoustic properties are part of the calibrated SimuGel™ 0–5 formulation system and are intended to be interpreted in context across the full material range.

What is SimuGel #1 used for?
+

A. All-purpose tissue simulation for procedures requiring moderate resistance—including suturing, cutting, ultrasound imaging, and catheter placement on dense muscle tissue.

How does SimuGel #1 compare to Gel 0?
+

Gel 1 offers slightly less resistance (0.34 MPa vs 0.63 MPa), making it ideal for dense muscle simulation rather than composite multi-layer tissue. 

Can SimuGel #1 be reused?
+

Yes. It maintains performance through dozens of punctures. When surface wear appears, simply remelt and remold. 

Can I add color to SimuGel #1?
+

Yes. Compatible with Humimic tissue dyes, including tan dye for skin-tone customization.

Is it safe for classroom use?
+

Yes. It’s odorless, non-toxic, and stable at room temperature.

Is it compatible with ultrasound and imaging?
+

Yes. Works with linear ultrasound probes and provides clear contrast for CT and MRI training simulations.
