what is a suture pad

A suture pad is a simulated skin pad designed to mimic real skin and provide a realistic texture for practicing suturing skills. Suture pads are made of silicone, which is closest to the human skin texture, and are designed to replicate the anatomical structure of human tissue, including skin, fat, and muscle. They are used to build superficial suturing, knot security, mole biopsy, and even skin reconstruction skills. Suture pads come in various shapes and sizes for various training purposes. They are an essential tool for medical and veterinary students to practice and improve their suturing skills in a safe and controlled environment.
