abstract="In order to create and study blunt force wound morphology, a &quot;skin-skull-brain model&quot; had to be designed which would make the laboratory reproduction of a blunt force injury to the head possible. During the evaluation of the &quot;skin-skull-brain model&quot;, it was possible to show that injuries inflicted to this model are fully comparable to the morphology of equivalent real blunt forces injuries to humans. Utilization of the &quot;skin-skull-brain model&quot; presents some significant advantages: the model is inexpensive, easy to construct, instantly available for use, and eliminates ethics conflicts. The main advantage of such a model is, in comparison with biological substances, the high reproducibility of experimentally inflicted traumas.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
