ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (10) and method for using same for practicing suturing techniques is disclosed. A plurality of layers (16, 20, 22) of material simulating human tissue to be sutured are stretched across an open frame (12) and then slit to simulate a wound or incision. An additional layer (14) is stretched across the frame beneath the other layers to simulate material which is to be avoided in the suturing process. The sutured layers include a first layer (16) simulating a layer of fascia and a second layer (20) simulating the dermis. These layers are separated by a layer (18) simulating fatty tissue. A top layer (22) is adhered to the second layer (20) and simulates a layer of skin to be sutured.
