Product Description

Very soft simulation for delicate tissue procedures.

 

Humimic SimuGel™ #4 replicates the highly compliant texture of very soft organs—liver, spleen, and adipose tissue. This ultra-soft formulation provides the minimal resistance clinicians encounter during HRT pellet placement, catheter insertion, and biopsy procedures on delicate structures.

 

SimuGel™ delivers consistent softness every time. Each batch is certified at 0.13 MPa Young’s Modulus, 0.26 N needle resistance, and 170 g firmness—so you get reliable very-soft tissue response without biological material unpredictability.

 

Heat and pour into molds, embed training inserts, and reuse when needed. The gel stays shelf-stable, odor-free, and ready for immediate use.

 

Why educators and developers choose SimuGel #4:

 

  • For HRT Pellet Training– Practice pellet insertion in tissue that mimics soft adipose layers encountered during hormone replacement therapy procedures.
  • For Catheter Insertion– Develop technique for advancing catheters through very soft tissue with minimal resistance.
  • For Soft Lesion Palpation– Learn to identify and assess subtle masses in very soft tissue like liver or spleen parenchyma.

 

Technical Note: Young’s Modulus quantifies compression resistance in materials. SimuGel #4’s 0.13 MPa value represents very soft organ tissue including liver, spleen, and adipose layers. This low modulus creates the highly compliant feel essential for procedures requiring minimal tissue resistance.

 

Certified properties reflect testing on 1 lb blocks at approximately 70–72°F. Values may shift with remolding approach, environmental factors, and accumulated usage.

What is SimuGel #4 used for?
+

Very soft tissue simulation—ideal for HRT pellet placement, catheter insertion through soft tissue, organ biopsy training, and soft lesion palpation.

How does SimuGel #4 compare to other formulations?
+

Gel 4 is very soft (0.13 MPa)—softer than Gel 0-3. It’s designed for liver, spleen, and adipose tissue rather than muscle or denser organs.

Is it suitable for ultrasound imaging?
+

Yes. The very soft, compliant texture works well with linear ultrasound probes for imaging soft organ structures and guided procedures.

Can I reuse this material multiple times?
+

Yes. SimuGel #4 withstands repeated needle insertions and procedures. Remelt when surface damage accumulates to restore the material.

Can I customize it with dyes?
+

Yes. The clear base accepts Humimic tissue dyes including tan dye for creating anatomically realistic soft tissue models.
