摘要:For me, the concept of wound care has always been a challenging topic to demonstrate. How do you teach the concept without having a student in need of wound care or without having to spend money to buy another simulation manikin/model? I have recently created a simulation to demonstrate and practice the cleaning, closing, and dressing(Table 1) of external wounds in a very cost effective manner using equipment we already owned in our human performance laboratory. The purpose of this column is to provide athletic training educators (ATEs) with an innovative and cost effi cient means to educate athletic training students as to how to clean, close, and dress external wounds.
