Their skilled professionals can create custom moulage for your exercise or drill using various products and techniques. The Moulage Sciences & Training team have traveled all over the country with professional special effects makeup artists to do moulage for a multitude of scenarios, including military training, disaster drills, professional demonstrations, and hospital triage.

MST Moulage Techniques Training (MTT) courses are designed to teach trainees current Moulage techniques and materials implemented in existing medical training and special effects industries. Training exercises range from moulage application to making your own prosthetics and props. Classes are taught on-site at MST’s Orlando research & development facility or an institution with five or more trainees.

Moulage Sciences and Training Defines Moulage

Moulage Sciences & Training defines moulage as the art of applying mock injuries to simulate real-world experience for emergency medical training. Severe medical trauma creates major challenges for military & civilian first responders. Traditional classroom training is essential, but there is only one substitute for actual experience in the field: healthcare simulation. To bridge the gap is moulage, the art of applying mock injuries to simulate real-world experience for emergency medical training. In use for decades, moulage ranges in complexity from simple wax models to hyper-realistic prostheses with pumping blood and simulated odors.

Real-World Experiences

Bridging the gap of clinically simulated patient presentations is moulage, the art of applying mock injuries for the purpose of simulating real-world experience for emergency medical training. Florida-based Moulage Sciences and Training (MST) provides high fidelity moulage using hypoallergenic materials that are durable, long lasting, and reusable. In use since for centuries, moulage ranges in complexity from simple wax models to hyper-realistic prostheses with pumping blood and simulated odors. MST training techniques can teach anyone how to apply moulage that will look realistic and stay in place for long lasting training scenarios. Join this presentation to learn about products, techniques, and effects currently used in the special effects industry and in support of training exercises for medical, public safety and military organizations.

MST is the smart choice for moulage, showcasing silicone-based simulated wounds which are hypoallergenic, strong and durable with an unlimited shelf life. With proper care, wounds can be washed, sanitized and reused where as no other material can do that. MST’s products come pre-colored in a variety of skin tones to accommodate all kinds of role players. Most of their wounds can be used right out of the package but they can be enhanced with additional makeup to further blend them and enhance the realism of the injury.

Moulage Sciences & Training (MST) delivers the world’s finest and most realistic healthcare injury technology to train healthcare professionals to provide quality care. Moulage Sciences and Training merges the latest special effects technology with advanced materials to recreate emergency trauma care’s intensity, complexity, and stress.

Moulage Materials

MST uses water-resistent alcohol activated instantly setting makeup, which is ideal for moulage. application of prosthetic wounds to show how easy and durable moulage products can be. The presentation will also showcase the use of moulage makeup to add Hollywood-grade special effects to any clinical simulation experience! Adhesive and cleaning techniques will also be covered!

MST Moulage Products to Support Your Scenario Realism

The moulage products from Moulage Sciences & Training cover a wide variety of injuries. The advantages of MST moulage products include the ability to reuse the products, overlays adherence to the manikins or standardized patients, and the realism of the silicone-based products. The silicone rubber used in MST products is the same quality and grade used in movie productions. The use of silicone increases the durability and ease of application, which increases the realism. The moulage product lines include:

  • Gunshots & Lacerations
  • Venous & Arterial Wounds
  • Burns, Boils & Ulcers
  • Severe Amputations
  • Simulated Tissue & Fluids
  • Advanced Skills Trainers
  • Shrapnel, Odors & Extras
  • Application Supplies

How to Increase the Authenticity with MST Simulated Tissues & Fluids and Odors

Moulage Sciences and Training incorporate all the participants’ senses for a more immersive healthcare simulation experience. MST Odors have been developed to provide a realistic olfactory and visual simulation of MST prosthetics to take the realism factor of your training scenario to an entirely different level. These scent oils are designed to simulate scents in the most unpleasant scenarios. Available in a convenient spray-top container, these scents will last through multiple scenarios, as a little goes a long way. The available odors are decaying flesh, feces, gunpowder, burnt flesh, vomit, urine, and car bomb. With the scents being oil based, MST recommends spraying the odors on something disposable, like a cotton ball, or gauze, so that the offending odor can be bagged, sealed, and use again later or tossed away.

To aid in the removal of the odors after the simulation, MST offers an Odor Neutralizer to eliminate the unpleasant smells of MST Odors after the training scenario has been completed. MST Odors are very strong and can be hard to remove completely. MST’s Odor Neutralizer makes the removal an easy task. MST’s Odor Neutralizer can be sprayed throughout the room to remove any lingering scents.

The simulated tissues and fluids offered by Moulage Sciences and Training enhance the realism. The MST simulated blood even dries dark and brittle to replicate human blood. The MST urine is representative of urine in various states, such as diluted, normal/regular, dehydrated, and hematuria. The combination of the odors and fluids produces a more realistic and immersive clinical simulation experience.

Healthcare simulationists can combine odors and fluids with the appropriate Moulage Sciences and Training products for the next level of realism. Some of the products include:

  • MST Perforated Bowel
  • MST Thermal Burn
  • MST Large & Small Ulcers
  • MST Simulated Vomit
  • MST Simulated Urine
  • MST Simulated Venous Blood

Moulage Techniques Training Courses

MST Moulage Techniques Training (MTT) courses are designed to teach trainees current Moulage techniques and materials implemented in existing medical training and special effects industries. Training exercises range from moulage application to making your own prosthetics and props. Classes are taught on-site at MST’s Orlando research & development facility. MST’s Fundamentals of Moulage Course can be taught off-site when there are 5 or more trainees: travel fees apply, contact us for a quote.

  • Training Goal: Trainees will learn about products, techniques, and effects currently used in the special effects industry and in support of training exercises for medical, public safety and military organizations around the world. MST prosthetics and products will be incorporated into the training as well. We focus on silicone as our primary material due to it’s safety and longevity for moulage.
  • Course Length: Class times range from 6-7 hours depending on the complexity of the products demonstrated. Introduction to Molding/Casting, Life Casting and Airbrush classes must be taught at MST’s Orlando research & development facility due to volume & complexity of products used.
  • Custom Training: MST can create a custom-made course around your training needs. As we work mainly with silicones, we can create custom courses focused on the medium of your choice, such as wax, latex or gelatin.

MST also has the ability to offer more advanced courses, such as life casting or advanced mold making. We can also set up phone or site consultations to help with all of your training questions and requirements.

Use of Moulage Sciences and Training Incorporation into Non-Trauma Healthcare Simulations

The use of Moulage Sciences and Training products and services is not limited to trauma clinical simulations. MST products can be used to increase the realism of medical-surgical clinical simulations. If the healthcare simulationists want to replicate an infected ulcer on the sacral area. The use of MST small or large ulcers could be used with fecal and urine orders. The combination would involve the senses of sight, smell, and touch. Another example could be a first-term pregnant patient with hyperemesis. The use of MST dehydrated urine with urine odor and simulated vomit with vomit odor.
