Makeup, Moulage and Prosthetics

Moulage is the art of applying mock injuries to simulated patients (be they mannequin or SP) for the purpose of medical education. Effective moulage increases simulation fidelity by providing visual cues for the participant. Makeup is used to simulate skin findings like bruises, jaundice, rashes, and erythema. Silicone layovers and prosthetics can be applied directly to mannequins or SPs. These simulate gross injuries or findings like open fractures, burns, blisters, and edema.

Build New Technology

The newly furnished Innovation Foundry is a perfect space to generate new ideas and trial new technologies. The Innovation Foundry is an adaptable workspace for brainstorming meetings or rapid prototyping. If you'd like to discuss a project proposal, please contact our Director of Simulation and Education at jmuddle@stanford.edu.
