Life-size wound model. Model of a male torso developed to aid in the training of wound management. This model called 'George' has several wounds modelled on a real patient. The surgical incision (centre right) can be removed to reveal a large internal abdominal wound (lower centre). There is also a removable fungating tumour which has been placed on the shoulder (top). This model helps discussion about issues including wound measurement, pressure ulcer grading, dressing application, and wound bed preparation. Photographed at the School of Nursing and Midwifery, University of Hertfordshire, UK.
