Modeling of wound ballistics in biological tissues simulators
Medičnì Perspektivi, 2023 Modern weapons cause severe damage, accompanied by high rates of complications and mortality. The investigation of such kinds of weapons is in high demand considering the ongoing active phase of russia's war against Ukraine since February 2022. In order

The use of gelatine in wound ballistics research. [PDF]
Int J Legal Med, 2018 Blocks of gelatine are used in both lethality and survivability studies for broadly the same reason, i.e. comparison of ammunition effects using a material that it is assumed represents (some part of) the human body. The gelatine is used to visualise the

Diagnostic Challenges in Uncommon Firearm Injury Cases: A Multidisciplinary Approach [PDF]
DiagnosticsBackground: Firearm wounds tend to have a precise pattern. Despite this, real-world case presentations can present uncertain elements, sometimes deviating from what is considered standard, and present uncommon features that are difficult for forensic ...

The use of human tissue surrogates in anatomical modeling for gunshot wounds simulations: an overview about “how to do” experimental terminal ballistics [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and BiotechnologyHuman tissue simulating materials are currently used in scientific research mainly because they help to avoid possible ethical issues, unlike what happens with studies involving live animals and/or human cadavers.
