Ten Realistic Medical Moulage Techniques for Lifelike Fake Blood

Medical Moulage with Fake Blood is something we work with in medical simulation regularly. This video describes ways we use fake blood for patient simulation and ten recipes you can use to make some for your next training or for fun.

Fake blood is commonly used in medical moulage, which is the art of simulating medical scenarios for training, education, and simulation purposes. It helps create realistic and immersive environments for healthcare professionals, first responders, and students to practice their skills and improve their ability to handle various medical situations.

Remember to consider the purpose of your fake blood when choosing a recipe, especially if it needs to be edible or easily washable from clothing and skin. Always perform a patch test before applying any fake blood to your skin to ensure there are no adverse reactions.

Considerations for the type of moulage is dependent on many factors including:
Staining of surfaces (simulators, floors)
Sugar contamination (attracting bugs)
Ease of cleaning
Viscosity needed
Clotting characteristics
