Moulage

1515

The art of applying mock injuries for the purpose of training First Responders and other medical and military personnel. Moulage may be as simple as applying pre-made rubber or latex "wounds" to a healthy "patient's" limbs, chest, head, etc., or as complex as using complicated makeup and theatre techniques to provide elements of realism (such as blood, vomit, open fractures, etc.) to the training simulation.

Vomit/Bile

1717

http://www.cert-la.com/education/moulage-recipes.pdf

Vomit:As unpleasant as it sounds, vomit can easily be simulated with the use of instant flavored oatmeal (maple & brown sugar, raisin and cinnamon, etc) mixed with a small amount of water. For enhanced effect, use your imagination for the general effect like adding corn, peas, or other food types.

Bile (Stomach)Mix in a sturdy blender 16-18 oz. package of oatmeal cookies with a generous handful of dark ginger snaps.


1818

Road Rash

1818


Gently heat 3- 4 full tubes red or reddish lipsticks (or the equivalent of this volume) having half of the lipsticks bright red. Off-color reds can be combined with the bright red. Heat lipsticks in a small stainless steel cup on stove or small plastic cup in the microwave. Transfer to small container that is wide-mouthed so you can scrape across top with a sponge. A lid is recommended.

Bruise Powder

1919


Bruise Powder #1:Combine line chalk (like carpenters use) in a ratio of 5 parts blue to 2 parts red. This medium is such a fine powder that measurements need to be kept uniform or color will vary considerably.

Bruise Powder #2:Crumble combinations of old blue, purple, aqua, and green eye shadows with ½ amount of red blush into a fine powder. If a large, very economic, volume is needed, finely crush same color mixture of colored sidewalk chalk and mix in with eye shadow/blush. Using a small axe or hammer, wrap chalk in a paper towel, place on a hard surface and pound intopowder. Use round rouge (make-up) brush to apply.

Simulated Skin (Schkin)

2020

In a large bowl, mix together all of (2) 13 oz. jars of petroleum jelly, (3) 16 oz. boxes of cornstarch, and 2 - 6 tablespoons cocoa powder depending on darkness of color desired). These ‘homemade’ kits have one bowl of the lightest (2 T. cocoa powder) and one bowl of the darkest (6 T. cocoa powder). You don’t want it too sticky nor too dry. Best to mix the cocoa powder into the cornstarch before adding the petroleum jelly. You can begin mixing with a spatula, but eventually will need to use rubber gloves and knead with both hands to get it all totally mixed. Clean up with paper towels, then wash your hands/tools with warm water and soap.

Blood

2121


Thin Blood:Mix together 16 oz. of liquid laundry starch (like Sta Flo), 2 oz. RED food coloring, and 5 drops BLUE food coloring.

Medium Blood (corn syrup type):To a 16 oz. bottle of corn syrup, add 2 teaspoons or 200 drops of RED food coloring , 16 drops BLUE food coloring, and 16 drops YELLOW food coloring. Mix well in bowl larger than three cups and place in container that is easy to pour. (Pour by using a funnel.) This version needs to be used rather quickly, for the chance of mold forming exists.

Thick Blood:To a 16 oz. can “Multi-duty Complex” by Super Tech (grease that comes red), add 30 drops RED food coloring and 30 drops of BLUE. Mix very well. The canned version is easier to work with that the tube-type. This medium is messy, though it cleans up easily with paper towels.
