Abstract:
Bridging the gap of clinically simulated patient presentations is moulage, the art of applying mock injuries for the purpose of simulating real-world experience for emergency medical training. Florida-based Moulage Sciences and Training (MST) provides high fidelity moulage using hypoallergenic materials that are durable, long lasting, and reusable. In use since for centuries, moulage ranges in complexity from simple wax models to hyper-realistic prostheses with pumping blood and simulated odors. MST training techniques can teach anyone how to apply moulage that will look realistic and stay in place for long lasting training scenarios. Join this presentation to learn about products, techniques, and effects currently used in the special effects industry and in support of training exercises for medical, public safety and military organizations.
This presentation will focus on why MST’s products are a smart choice for moulage, showcasing silicone-based simulated wounds which are hypoallergenic, strong and durable with an unlimited shelf life. With proper care, wounds can be washed, sanitized and reused where as no other material can do that. MST’s products come pre-colored in a variety of skin tones to accommodate all kinds of role players. Most of their wounds can be used right out of the package but they can be enhanced with additional makeup to further blend them and enhance the realism of the injury.
In this webinar, the MST team will demonstrate a 2D bruise wound, and show why water-resistent alcohol activated instantly setting makeup is ideal for moulage. The presenter will also demo an application of prosthetic wounds to show how easy and durable moulage products can be. The presentation will also showcase the use of moulage makeup to add Hollywood-grade special effects to any clinical simulation experience! Adhesive and cleaning techniques will also be covered!
Learning Objectives:
- Share why MST’s silicone prosthetics provide high quality long lasting moulage impact to increase clinical realism.
- Showcase moulage makeup techniques to increase wound presentation realism.
- Learn how to safely apply and remove a silicone prosthetic for maximum efficiency.
