SIMBODIES Skin Repair Kit
A manikin-maintenance kit for restoring prosthetic-grade silicone skin on SIMBODIES simulation manikins after high-impact procedures — particularly IO bone replacement and repeated wound-packing drills. Color-matched silicone repair in three skin tones.
The Safeguard Medical SIMBODIES Skin Repair Kit is a manikin-maintenance kit designed for restoring and repairing prosthetic-grade silicone skin on SIMBODIES simulation manikins after high-impact training procedures — particularly intraosseous (IO) bone replacement and repeated wound-packing drills. Available in Light (TR0139-03), Tan (TR0139-02), and Dark (TR0139-01) skin tones, it includes the materials needed for quick, color-matched silicone repairs.

What It Is
SIMBODIES manikins are manufactured from prosthetic-grade platinum silicone — chosen for its tactile realism and durability — but high-frequency, high-impact procedures like intraosseous (IO) needle insertion and bone replacement, repeated wound packing, and needle decompression eventually require surface maintenance. The Skin Repair Kit provides what is needed to restore the manikin surface to full training condition between heavy-use sessions, extending equipment life and maintaining the realism that makes SIMBODIES trainers effective.
The core repair system is a two-part pigmented platinum silicone (Parts A and B), formulated to match the skin tone of each manikin SKU variant. Mixed in the proper ratio with the included spatulas and paper pots, the silicone cures to a patch that is color-matched, skin-safe, and mechanically similar to the original surface. T-pins hold patches in position during the cure cycle, while cling film provides a non-stick working surface.
Proper maintenance with the Skin Repair Kit reduces per-session equipment cost by extending the service life of SIMBODIES manikins, which represent significant procurement investments. For programs running high-volume IO insertion practice, keeping repair kits on hand allows quick between-session maintenance rather than depot repair or replacement.
In general use, the repair area is cleaned with alcohol then make-up wipes, the two silicone parts are mixed in equal proportion in a paper pot, applied with the spatula and smoothed to match the surrounding surface, held with T-pins where edges lift, and allowed to cure fully before training resumes on the repaired area.
Match the kit skin tone (Light / Tan / Dark) to your SIMBODIES manikin for best color matching — a mismatched tone produces a visible patch. Contact Safeguard Medical if your manikin skin tone is uncertain. Follow the manufacturer's included instructions for cure times and ratios.

When to Use the SIMBODIES Skin Repair Kit
- Post-IO bone replacement repair: Intraosseous access procedures accelerate wear at the humeral and tibial access sites; the Skin Repair Kit provides the specific materials to restore these sites to training-ready condition.
- Routine skin surface maintenance: Addresses minor cuts, tears, and surface defects that accumulate during high-repetition procedural training — preventing small damage from becoming irreparable.
- Pre-exercise preparation: Quick repair prior to a training session ensures manikin fidelity is maintained, preventing degraded tactile feedback during procedures.
- Long-term manikin fleet management: Organizations running multiple SIMBODIES manikins benefit from having Skin Repair Kits on hand to extend service intervals and reduce replacement costs.
- Post-transport and storage inspection: Repairs minor transit-related surface damage before damage sets or worsens, preserving the manikin's appearance and procedural capability.
SIMBODIES Skin Repair Kit vs. Third-Party Silicone Repair Products
- Formulated for prosthetic-grade platinum silicone: The SIMBODIES Skin Repair Kit is specifically selected for compatibility with the platinum silicone used in SIMBODIES manikins — third-party products may cure improperly or discolor the skin.
- Color-matched application: Repair materials are selected to blend with the manikin's skin tone, maintaining visual realism after repair — generic silicone repair compounds are typically clear or off-white.
- All-in-one repair components: Safeguard Medical includes surface preparation materials, adhesive silicone, and finishing components in a single kit — third-party approaches require sourcing individual components.
- Manufacturer-endorsed process: Using the Skin Repair Kit maintains compliance with SIMBODIES warranty terms; using non-approved repair materials may void the manikin's one-year manufacturer warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What procedures most commonly require skin repair on SIMBODIES manikins?
A: Intraosseous (IO) access procedures — particularly repeated needle insertion at the humeral head and tibial sites — are the primary driver of skin wear requiring the Skin Repair Kit. Tourniquet application, chest seal placement, and wound dressing drills also generate surface wear over time, though typically less rapidly.
Q: Is the Skin Repair Kit covered under the SIMBODIES warranty?
A: The Skin Repair Kit itself is a consumable maintenance product. SIMBODIES manikins come with a one-year manufacturer warranty covering defects; Service Packages are available for extended coverage of repairs. Using the Skin Repair Kit for its intended purpose supports manikin longevity and is consistent with the manufacturer's maintenance guidance.
Q: How long does a skin repair take to cure?
A: Cure time depends on the specific materials in the kit and ambient conditions. Follow the instructions included in the Skin Repair Kit for specific working time and full cure time. Safeguard Medical recommends allowing full cure before subjecting the repaired area to further procedural use.
