Simulation programs are expected to deliver training that is not only clinically accurate but also socially and culturally representative. Most manikins are visually static, they cannot portray the diversity of real-world patients.

This bundle solves that problem.

Each facial overlay is handcrafted by SPFX artists, using soft, skin-safe silicone. Designed to fit Laerdal SimMan 3G, the overlays include an integrated wig, hand-punched facial hair (where applicable), and a rear Velcro strap for fast, non-damaging application. There’s no need for stretching, pulling, adhesives, or tools.

With options available in multiple skin tones, ethnic backgrounds, and age groups, you can easily shift from a geriatric care scenario to a trauma case to a culturally specific end-of-life discussion, all using the same simulator.

Rather than asking learners to “imagine” a patient, you provide them with visibly distinct and emotionally engaging characters, improving immersion, empathy, and communication skills.

Use Cases & Educational Benefits

This bundle empowers simulation teams to:

• Extend the life of their existing SimMan 3G
• Deliver diversity in simulation without purchasing multiple manikins
• Represent inclusive patient profiles for communication-based training
• Support training in unconscious bias and cultural safety
• Transition between geriatric, adult, and trauma scenarios quickly
• Run SP-to-manikin handover simulations with visual continuity
• Enhance OSCEs, moulage labs, and long-form scenario realism

Whether you’re delivering trauma response, chronic disease care, or behavioral health modules, these overlays provide scalable fidelity and realism from a single platform.
