SIMBODIES® Professional Burn Wheel – Special Effects Trauma Palette

Overview

Bring precise clinical realism to thermal, chemical, and radiation trauma simulations with the SIMBODIES® Professional Burn Wheel. Developed in partnership with industry leader Kryolan, this highly pigmented cream colour wheel is specifically calibrated to replicate the complex visual layers of different burn depths.

Featuring five distinct, blendable trauma shades housed in a compact, partitioned wheel, this palette allows moulage technicians and clinical educators to create seamless tissue gradients on both live roleplayers and premium platinum silicone manikins.

Key Features & Benefits

• Clinical Burn Colour Spectrum: Curated with five essential trauma pigments—including an intense inflammatory red, ash black for deep tissue charring, dead tissue brown, sloughing yellow, and a pale flesh tone for blistering or underlying fat layers.

• Ultra-Blendable Cream Matrix: High-density pigments blend effortlessly to eliminate artificial edges, allowing you to build the transition zones between first-, second-, and third-degree burns cleanly.

• Silicone Safe & Asset-Friendly: Chemically optimised for high-fidelity assets. It applies smoothly over silicone skin panels and washes clean post-scenario without leaving permanent oil stains or discolouration.

• Skin Safe & Non-Toxic: Manufactured to strict dermatological standards, ensuring complete safety for direct application onto human actors during long, high-stress field exercises.

Advanced Moulage Applications

Visualising Burn Severity: Accurate burn staging is a critical skill in emergency medicine, guiding fluid resuscitation via the Parkland Formula and dictating immediate airway intervention. By blending multi-coloured burn wheels, instructors challenge students to differentiate between partial-thickness and full-thickness injuries based on tissue discolouration and charring.

• Full-Thickness Charring: Use the ash black and deep brown segments to mimic necrotic, non-blanching tissue centres found in severe industrial or explosion injuries.

• Partial-Thickness Erythema: Blend the rich red pigment outward using a makeup sponge to simulate the bright, painful inflammation zones surrounding blistered skin.

• Infected & Sloughing Wounds: Utilise the yellow and brown tones to portray older, neglected burns or chemical exposures that have developed slough and fibrinous exudate.
