Abstract

A wound debridement model for practicing debridement during classroom training. The wound debridement model includes a base comprising a top surface with at least one hole in the top surface of the base, wherein the bottom of the hole is painted red. The model includes a first layer at least partially covering the top surface of the base such that the first layer is built into a ridge around the hole, wherein the first layer is a flesh colored layer. Further, the wound debridement model includes a second layer coated in a portion of the red painted base of the hole, wherein the second layer comprises wax. Further, the wound debridement model includes a third layer, wherein the third layer comprises a yellow stringy and slimy material. Furthermore, the wound debridement model includes a fourth layer covering the third layer. The fourth layer includes a round piece of leather.

Claims (37)

1. A wound debridement model for practicing debridement during classroom training, the wound debridement model comprising:

a base comprising a top surface;

at least one hole in the top surface of the base, wherein a bottom of the at least one hole is painted red;

a first layer at least partially covering the top surface of the base such that the first layer is built into a ridge around the at least one hole, wherein the first layer is a flesh colored layer;

a second layer coated in a portion of the red painted base of the at least one hole, wherein the second layer comprises wax;

a third layer filled over the second layer, wherein the third layer comprises a yellow stringy and slimy material; and

a fourth layer covering the third layer, wherein the fourth layer comprises a round piece of leather.

2. A wound debridement model of claim 1 , wherein the base is cube shaped and is formed using polystyrene foam.

3. The wound debridement model of claim 1 , wherein the at least one hole in the top surface of the base simulates a depth of a wound bed.

4. The wound debridement model of claim 3 , wherein a bottom of the at least one hole is painted red to simulate a healthy wound tissue.

5. The wound debridement model of claim 1 , wherein the second layer simulates a biofilm.

6. The wound debridement model of claim 1 , wherein the third layer simulates a slough.

7. The wound debridement model of claim 1 , wherein the fourth layer simulates a dead tissue.

8. The wound debridement model of claim 1 , wherein the base has a length of 4 inches, a width of 3.5 inches and a height of 2 inches.

9. The wound debridement model of claim 2 further comprising a piece of husk-type material impeded into the base.

10. The wound debridement model of claim 9 , wherein the husk-type material comprises corn husks.

11. The wound debridement model of claim 1 , wherein the third layer is formed using a material comprising at least one of a synthetic snow, cotton fibers, stripes of yellow crepe paper, yellow colored fabric paint, rubber cement, liquid sand, yellow slime, and liquid starch.

12. A necrotic wound debridement model for practicing debridement, the necrotic wound debridement model comprising:

a cube shaped base comprising a top surface, wherein the cube shaped base is formed using polystyrene foam;

at least one hole in the top surface of the cube shaped base to simulate a depth of a wound bed, wherein a bottom of the at least one hole is painted red to simulate a healthy wound tissue;

a first layer at least partially covering the top surface of the cube shaped base such that the first layer is built into a ridge around the at least one hole, wherein the first layer is a flesh colored layer and simulates a callous tissue;

a second layer coated in a portion of the red painted base of the at least one hole, wherein the second layer simulates a biofilm and comprises wax;

a third layer filled over the second layer, wherein the third layer simulates a slough and comprises a yellow stringy and slimy material; and

a fourth layer covering the third layer, wherein the fourth layer simulates a dead tissue and comprises a round piece of leather.

13. The necrotic wound debridement model of claim 12 , wherein the third layer is formed using a material comprising at least one of a synthetic snow, cotton fibers, stripes of yellow crepe paper, yellow colored fabric paint, rubber cement, liquid sand, yellow slime, and liquid starch.

14. The necrotic wound debridement model of claim 12 further comprising a piece of husk-type material into the cube shaped base, wherein the husk-type material comprises corn husks.

15. The necrotic wound debridement model of claim 12 , wherein the cube shaped base has a length of 4 inches, a width of 3.5 inches and a height of 2 inches.

16. An interactive wound debridement model for practicing debridement, the interactive wound debridement model comprising:

a cube shaped base comprising a top surface, wherein the cube shaped base is formed using polystyrene foam;

at least one hole in the top surface of the cube shaped base to simulate a depth of a wound bed, wherein a bottom of the at least one hole is painted red to simulate a healthy wound tissue;

a first layer at least partially covering the top surface of the cube shaped base such that the first layer is built into a ridge around the at least one hole to simulate callous tissue, wherein the first layer is a flesh colored layer;

a second layer coated in a portion of the red painted base of the at least one hole simulating a biofilm, wherein the second layer comprises wax;

a third layer filled over the second layer, wherein the third layer simulates a slough and comprises a yellow stringy and slimy material; and

a fourth layer covering the third layer simulating a dead tissue, wherein the fourth layer simulates a dead tissue and comprises a round piece of leather.

17. The interactive wound debridement model of claim 16 , wherein the third layer is formed using a material comprising at least one of a synthetic snow, cotton fibers, stripes of yellow crepe paper, yellow colored fabric paint, rubber cement, liquid sand, yellow slime, and liquid starch.

18. The interactive wound debridement model of claim 16 further comprising a piece of husk-type material into the cube shaped base, wherein the husk-type material comprises corn husks.

19. The interactive wound debridement model of claim 16 , wherein cube shaped base has a length of 4 inches, a width of 3.5 inches and a height of 2 inches.
