  • providing a mold defining a cavity having a first depth and a first well inside the cavity having a second depth greater than the first depth;

    the mold having a core located inside the first well;

    pouring a silicone mixture into the mold cavity and first well;

    curing the silicone inside the mold to form a simulated skin layer having a top surface and a bottom surface and a tubular structure extending from the top surface;

    the tubular structure having a lumen defining an opening in the layer at the proximal end and an opening at a distal end; and

    inverting the tubular structure by passing the distal end of the tubular structure through the opening.
