Abstract

Relevant components are necessary for high-fidelity simulation, including scripted scenarios, well-trained simulation educators and “actors,” appropriate mannequins, and realistic environments. Moulage can be yet another key element when used properly. In health courses, moulage can be worked on using various themes. One of them worth working on is burn. This is considering that efficient care requires well-trained health professionals. The aim of this paper is to describe the preparation of moulage that represents a realistic, easy-to-perform third-degree burn using easily accessible and inexpensive materials. First, the researchers began with the search for specific literature, followed by the necessary material selection, and defining a model for the simulated burn. The moulage was executed in approximately 60 minutes. The step-by-step technique has been described and photographed, using low-cost, easily accessible materials to allow moulage to be considered and applied more often in the scenarios of various health-related areas. We believe our model can be used in a variety of simulation scenarios, making it relevant to educators and student learning
