Handling and Safety Precautions
These precautions should be strictly observed in order to ensure safe, long-term
use of the product.
The following precautions should be observed particularly strictly:
1. The skin is made of a special silicone with a texture that is similar to human skin, and the abdominal
wall piece is made with a special material that is soft to the touch. Please handle these models with
the same care that you would exercise when working with a human body. Applying excessive force
may damage the model.
2. The material of the abdominal wall piece has a distinct odor. This odor is not harmful to the human
body and does not indicate poor quality. The distinct odor fades over time. There may also be a smell
of baby powder remaining on the model, as baby powder is applied during fabrication.
3. The abdominal wall piece may become sticky due to the oil component. Always place it correctly in
the protective sheet (provided as an accessory) before storage. If it becomes too sticky after use or
after washing, it may be difficult to set the skin in place. In these cases, apply baby powder (provided
as an accessory) liberally to the abdominal wall piece.
*See “Caring for the Model” on page 10.
4. The skin may become sticky from the oil component in the abdominal wall piece. If this happens,
wash the skin in water to remove the oil before use.
To prevent the oil from getting onto the skin, always place the abdominal wall piece correctly in the
protective sheet (provided as an accessory) before storage.
*See “Caring for the Model” on page 10.
5. The abdominal wall piece may change its shape over a prolonged period. Check the shape of the
part about three years after purchase. If it is deformed to the extent that its function is affected,
consider replacing it.
6. Air bubbles or impressions in the abdominal wall piece that may remain from the fabrication process
do not affect the strength of the material, as the material used is tear-resistant.
7. Do not use oil-based inks, pencil, chalk, or paints on the model because they may cause permanent
staining.
8. Please do not use oily lubricant (baby oil, olive oil etc.), alcohol lubricant, and lubricant containing
organic solvent. These may cause breakage of the model.
