The Seymour II™ Wound Care Model: An Essential Teaching Tool for Realistic Wound Management

The Seymour II™ Wound Care Model stands as the premier healthcare simulation tool, meticulously crafted to provide unparalleled realism in wound care education. Molded from a 74-year-old patient, this VATA model offers a lifelike tactile and visual experience, crucial for effective wound care teaching. It comprehensively showcases a range of pressure injuries, adhering to the NPUAP 2016 (National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel) guidelines, including Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3 with undermining, tunneling, subcutaneous fat, and slough, and a deep Stage 4 injury revealing exposed bone with osteomyelitis, undermining, tunneling, subcutaneous fat, eschar, and slough. Furthermore, the model accurately presents a DTPI (Deep Tissue Pressure Injury), an unstageable full eschar/slough wound, and a significant 5 ½” dehisced wound.

Each wound on the Seymour II™ model is painstakingly hand-painted to mirror real-patient scenarios, ensuring the most authentic training environment. This level of detail is vital because accurate wound assessment is paramount in healthcare. Misjudgments in wound assessment can lead to flawed care plans, impact reimbursement, and result in inaccurate reporting of patient outcomes and potential adverse events. Seymour II™ serves as an invaluable wound care teaching tool, designed to educate healthcare professionals, patients, and caregivers in the precise identification and staging of wounds, and understanding their underlying causes. By grasping the different etiologies, effective discussions and treatment plans can be developed to optimize patient care.

Seymour II™ transcends literacy barriers, acting as an exceptional visual aid for patient education. Individuals who may struggle with written health information can clearly see and understand the potential consequences of inadequate wound care. The model facilitates the teaching and practice of essential routines such as cleansing and dressing changes across all wound types. This hands-on training is beneficial for healthcare providers, patients, families, and caregivers alike, empowering everyone involved in the care process.

Constructed from a lifelike material, Seymour II™ allows for the application and effortless removal of dressings without leaving any adhesive residue. The strategic positioning of the Stage 3 and Stage 4 wounds enables demonstrations and practice of “bridging” dressings, essential for vacuum-assisted closure and negative pressure wound therapy devices. This feature makes Seymour II™ a comprehensive wound care teaching tool for both basic and advanced techniques.

The Seymour patient simulation model is instrumental in visualizing and comprehending the nuances between different types of wounds. This wound care model is an indispensable tool for training, competency evaluations, skills assessments, mastering dressing techniques, and effectively utilizing negative pressure wound therapy devices. It is the ideal solution for institutions seeking effective Wound Care Teaching Tools.
