“…PDMS is a biomaterial widely used in medical practice to simulate human body parts [24] owing to its low cost and ease of handling. In this study, consistent results were achieved using PDMS (30:1) as the specimen for the barb pull-out test (Figures 6 and 8), which could be attributed to the homogeneity of the material.…”

Facial lifting with polydioxanone barbed threads has been widely used in aesthetic treatment for years. However, gravity resists the thread and continuously pulls the face downward. This study aims to determine methods to lift the skin more efficiently with longer longevity. The quality of the thread is important and is defined by the pulling and pullout strengths. Moreover, the method of using threads is also important. We compared five thread-implantation techniques and six angles for the V-shaped implantation methods using a polydimethylsiloxane model to simulate thread migration in tissues. The results of the simulated thread-lift techniques can provide valuable information for physicians, enabling a more precise design of facelift surgery techniques.

“…To ensure the realistic texture of tissue at the suture site, we prepared modified silicone rubber based on polydimethylsiloxane. According to the previous studies, 13,14 the proportion of dimethyl silicone oil was adjusted to change the mechanical parameters of this silicone rubber, such as tear strength, elongation at break, and tensile strength. Ultimately, the modified silicone rubber obtained a high equivalence of mechanical parameters with the porcine diaphragm muscle.…”

BackgroundA training system that allows the trainee to perform laparoscopic suturing in a realistic environment and measures the force applied to the tissue would be invaluable. This study aims to establish the construct and content validity of the training system we developed for the objective assessment of surgeons' skills.MethodsTen novices, 6 residents, and 6 experts performed the suturing and knot‐tying task using the training system. Ten force‐related parameters were used to analyse the system's construct validity. Experts were invited to evaluate the content validity with questionnaires.ResultsEight parameters showed significant differences between the three groups. The construct validity results demonstrated that the system could distinguish the tissue handling ability of operators. The experts agreed that the system had excellent content validity with an average score of 4.71/5.ConclusionsThe training system is likely valid for surgical training. It can realistically simulate surgical scenarios and evaluate the tissue handling ability of trainees.
