how does that "skin" compare to real skin when it comes to sutures? Seems like it would be a whole new ball game when you are actually sewing up human flesh?!

Cool stuff, you look so official!

Hey - can't say that taking sutures out of a little square will feel much like the real moving, painful real thing. Looks like you were having fun!

That looks like a nasty cut. How did you get the bleeding to stop?

The skin is surprisingly similiar to real skin. It's pretty cool!
Todd- my patient was very brave and his plastic leg actually soaked up the blood really well :)
