Silicone Advance Skin – Three-Layer Suturing Model
The LifeLike Silicone Advance Skin is a compact, multi-layer silicone model designed for realistic basic suturing training. Its three distinct simulated tissue layers represent the dermis, subcutaneous tissue and muscle, allowing learners to develop a better understanding of tissue depth while practising essential wound closure skills.
Three simulated tissue layers Compact 6 × 5-inch format Basic suture training Product code 1237Realistic Layered Suturing Practice
Unlike a basic single-layer silicone sheet, the Silicone Advance Skin incorporates three simulated anatomical layers. This allows trainees to practise controlling needle depth, handling different tissue levels and placing sutures with greater awareness of the structures beneath the surface.
The compact 6 × 5-inch format is easy to incorporate into individual skills stations, classroom demonstrations and practical suturing workshops. It is suitable for learners developing fundamental needle handling, tissue handling and wound approximation skills.
Three Simulated Tissue Layers
Key Features

Develop Essential Suturing Skills
The multi-layer construction gives trainees more information about needle depth than a basic surface-only practice sheet. It can support the development of consistent technique while helping learners avoid unnecessarily deep or shallow needle placement.
Learning Outcomes
- Improved needle handling and orientation
- More consistent suture placement
- Greater awareness of tissue depth
- Improved wound edge alignment
- Controlled suture spacing and tension
- Confident use of basic suturing instruments
Suitable For
- Medical students
- Nursing and healthcare students

Frequently Asked Questions
How large is the Silicone Advance Skin?
The model measures 6 × 5 inches, which is approximately 15.2 × 12.7 cm.
How many tissue layers does it contain?
It contains three simulated layers representing the dermis, subcutaneous tissue and muscle.
Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes. Product 1237 is designed for basic suture training and is suitable for learners developing fundamental needle handling, suture placement and wound approximation skills.
Why use a multi-layer suturing model?
A multi-layer model helps learners understand the relationship between the skin surface and the tissues beneath it. This supports better control of needle depth and tissue handling during simulated wound closure.
Are instruments and sutures included?
No additional contents are stated in the supplied product information. Sutures, instruments and mounting accessories should therefore be purchased separately unless they are specifically included in your quotation.
