Overview

Humimic SimuGel™ #5 offers the highest compliance and lowest resistance within the SimuGel™ range. It is designed for niche training environments where minimal force, maximum deformation, and gentle handling are critical. 

 

Because of its ultra-soft nature, SimuGel™ #5 is most often used in specialized or custom phantom models rather than general-purpose training. 

 

Typical Use Scenarios 

  • Specialty procedural training 
  • Highly compliant tissue simulation 
  • Advanced or niche medical models 
  • Custom phantom development

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 makes SimuGel #5 different from other formulations?
+

It’s the softest gel at 0.09 MPa— designed for subcutaneous fat, neonatal tissue, and the most delicate organ environments.

What is SimuGel #5 used for?
+

Ultra-soft tissue simulation— ideal for ultrasound-guided venipuncture, neonatal training, dermal/subcutaneous procedures, and imaging phantoms.

Can I use it with ultrasound?
+

Yes. Works well with linear ultrasound probes for imaging very soft tissue structures and guided procedures.

Is it durable enough for training?
+

Yes, though its ultra-soft nature means it may show wear faster than firmer gels. Simply remelt to restore the material when needed.

Can I customize it with dyes?
+

Yes. Accepts Humimic tissue dyes including tan dye for creating realistic subcutaneous tissue models.
