Cut Suit

The Patent Pending “Cut Suit” is the most realistic way to simulate the look, feel, and smell effects of severe traumatic events on a live human while allowing medics, combat lifesavers, Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen and civilian first responders to safely perform real procedures. From the point of injury (POI), where self-aid and buddy-aid are rendered, the Medic or Corpsman renders aid, CasEvac or MedEvac is performed, treatment en route, and transition of care to the shock / trauma team and surgical intervention.

 Features Unique to the Cut Suit:

• The system can be worn during intensely physical scenarios at the POI 
• The system weighs approximately 30 lbs (approximately equivalent to a current defense issued, fully-loaded individual body armor)
• Body armor, uniform, clothing and equipment is not only don-able over the system but usable
• The system allows for interaction with a live patient during the emergency assessment and treatment process
• The skin and organs are user repairable, allowing for multiple uses per unit (well beyond fifty repairs to fully lacerated skin)
• Interchangeable organs, variable rate beating heart and variable blood flow
• Wounds created by the user
• Breakable and repairable bones (ribs & sternum)
