In April, the team won two prizes from the Society of Tissue Viability, a member-led skin health charity.
The models help them learn the medical process of removing dead, damaged or infected tissue from a wound, with the designs aiming to match the textural characteristics of skin injuries.
Dr Senior said other training tools such as plastic models had been used, but fail to provide the same quality of training.
“They lack the physiological relevance and the chance to manipulate these models,” she said.
“When they are then visiting their first patient there is a real lack of clinical translation there, and that can be quite risky and really unnerving for that trainee.”
