SKin vibrations+synthetic skin

02/21/2008 11:32 AM

Looking for simulated skin products which are very comparable with real skin... i.e, for acoustic vibration absorption, transmission etc experimentations. Any clues.

Go to your local abatoir.

I worked on a non cotact tonometer...we used to get pigs eyes...we'd get a dozen or so each time, to see us through the week

Look/ask at the local drug store for "Liquid Skin."

It may or may not meet the criteria for your application. Great on small cuts etc.

One such would be HydroMeds from Cardiotech International, Inc. See their web site @ www.Cardiotech-inc.com . These are special polyurethanes used for cosmetics, wound dressimgs, and a number of personal care applications, medical uses and the like.

Some skins consist of vinyl that is molded on the dummy with foam injected under the vinyl to give a firmness and pliability to the skin that resembles the real thing. Other skins consist of pieces of vinyl backed with foam layers. These pieces can be slipped on and off like clothes. The skin that covers the head is all one piece that fits over the aluminum skull. Colors are also very important to dummy skin. Many customers want flesh tones, but skin with red or yellow colorations is sometimes preferred when the dummy will be used in testing that is filmed. The yellow and red tones make precise measurement of movements on film easier.
