Wearable partial task surgical simulator
First Claim
1. A wearable device for simulating a trauma event which comprises a raiment dimensioned to cover the torso of a person, wherein the raiment is formed as a layer having an inner surface and an outer surface, and wherein the outer surface has a color and a texture comparable to human skin, and further wherein the raiment has at least one fluid reservoir for holding a blood-like fluid therein and is formed with at least one orifice on the outer surface thereof in fluid communication with the reservoir for selectively expelling the blood-like fluid from the reservoir and through the orifice to simulate the trauma event;
- and the device further comprising a vest dimensioned to fit on the torso of a person underneath the raiment, wherein the vest has a first portion covering at least part of the chest of a person, a second portion attached to the first portion and forming a cavity generally between the first and second portions, and third and fourth side portions attached to the first portion and covering at least part of the sides of the torso of a person.

Abstract
A wearable device for simulating wounds and injuries received during a trauma event includes a raiment and vest for covering the torso of a person. The raiment has an outer surface with a color and a texture comparable to human skin. Mounted on the outer surface is at least one wound simulator formed with an orifice that is in fluid communication with a fluid reservoir. Thus, the person can selectively expel a blood-like fluid from the reservoir, and through the wound simulator orifice, to simulate a trauma event. The vest includes an artificial rib cage and prosthetic internal organs juxtaposed with at least one wound simulator to simulate internal effects of a trauma event.

11. A device for simulating wounds and injuries received by a person during a trauma event which comprises:
-
a base member formed with at least one reservoir for holding a blood-like fluid therein, and wherein at least one reservoir is positioned on the base member to be manipulated by the person wearing the device to selectively expel the blood-like fluid therefrom; at least one wound simulator mounted on the base member and formed with an orifice in fluid communication with the reservoir; a penetrating wound simulator mounted on the base member; and a vest proximate to the base member with an access thereto for a prosthetic internal human organ positioned between the vest and base member during simulation of a penetrating wound to the human body. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for simulating a trauma event which comprises the steps of:
-
providing a raiment formed as a layer having an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the outer surface has a color and a texture comparable to human skin, and further wherein the raiment has at least one wound simulator formed with an orifice on the outer surface thereof and has at least one fluid reservoir for holding a blood-like fluid therein, the reservoir being in fluid communication with the orifice of the wound simulator; providing a vest proximate to the raiment, wherein the vest is dimensioned to fit on the torso of a person underneath the raiment and has a first portion covering at least part of the chest of a person and part of the side of the torso of a person, and a second portion attached to the first portion and forming a cavity generally between the first and second portions, and wherein the second portion of the vest is an artificial rib cage to simulate a skeletal structure and wherein at least one prosthetic internal human organ is positioned in the cavity; and selectively expelling the blood-like fluid from the reservoir and through the orifice to simulate the trauma event. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
