Surgical simulators are crucial in early craniofacial and plastic surgical training, necessitating synthetic materials that accurately replicate tissue properties. Recent critiques of our lab’s currently deployed silicone surrogate have highlighted numerous areas for improvement. To further refine models, group's objective is to find a composition closest fidelity native oral mucosa during rehearsal by expert surgeons. Fifteen platinum silicone-based samples were constructed with variable hardness slacker percentages. These underwent evaluation tactile sensation, hardness, needle puncture, cut resistance, suture retention, defect repair, tensile elasticity. Expert surgeon evaluators provided focused qualitative feedback on selected top-performing assessment statistical comparisons. Evaluation revealed characteristics satisfactory good performance. Sample 977 exhibited the highest performance, comparison original (sample 810) demonstrated significant improvements critical areas, emphasizing efficacy refined composition. The study identified directly addresses received team’s surrogate. underscores delicate balance between biofidelity practicality simulation. need ongoing refinement evident optimize training experiences learners.
