Product Description

Made to mimic deeper tissue layers.

 

Humimic SimuGel™ #2 replicates the mechanical response of resting skeletal muscle and kidney tissue—offering the ideal balance for surgical skills development. Students and surgeons practice cutting, suturing, and catheter placement on material that responds with authentic muscle-like resistance, preparing them for real procedural challenges.

 

SimuGel™ is engineered for consistent performance session after session. Every batch comes with documented testing: Young’s Modulus of 0.25 MPa, needle resistance of 0.43 N, and firmness of 296 g. Because it’s synthetic, you eliminate concerns about batch variation, organic breakdown, or temperature-sensitive storage that plague traditional materials.

 

Heat and pour into training blocks or anatomical molds. Add embedded vessels or pathology inserts for complex scenarios. When training creates surface damage, reheat to refresh the material’s properties. The gel maintains stability at room temperature, stays odor-free, and requires no special handling beyond basic lab protocols.

 

Why educators and developers choose SimuGel #2:

 

  • For Surgical Training: Students develop cutting and suturing proficiency on tissue that mimics resting muscle texture, building essential operative skills in safe environments.
  • For Ultrasound-Guided Procedures: The material provides excellent acoustic clarity for teaching probe positioning and needle guidance through muscle layers.
  • For Device Prototyping: Engineers test surgical instruments and catheter designs against material with documented muscle-equivalent properties that support validation studies.

 

Technical Note: Young’s Modulus quantifies compression resistance in materials. SimuGel #2’s 0.25 MPa value replicates resting skeletal muscle and kidney tissue mechanical behavior. This specification bridges subjective “feels like muscle” feedback with objective, reproducible measurement standards.

 

Certified properties reflect testing on 1 lb blocks at approximately 70–72°F. Values may shift with remolding technique, ambient conditions, and cumulative training use.

What makes SimuGel #2 different from other formulations?
+

Gel #2 is designed specifically for muscle-like properties (0.25 MPa), making it ideal for surgical cutting and suturing practice. It’s softer than Gel 0-1 but firmer than organ-specific formulations.

Can I use this with ultrasound imaging?
+

Yes. SimuGel #2 provides excellent acoustic clarity with linear probes, making it ideal for ultrasound-guided procedure training through muscle layers.

Is it suitable for surgical skills training?
+

Absolutely. The muscle-like resistance makes it perfect for teaching cutting, suturing, and tissue handling techniques that replicate operative conditions.

How many times can it be reused?
+

SimuGel #2 withstands repeated surgical cutting and needle punctures. When surface damage accumulates, simply remelt to restore the material.

Can I customize it with dyes?
+

Yes. The clear formulation accepts Humimic tissue dyes, including tan dye for creating anatomically layered models.
