TraumaMan is a surgical simulation manikin used for teaching surgical skills, including the American College of Surgeons' Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) program, to medical professionals.[1] TraumaMan is also used to advance surgical skills in combat situations.[2]

The TraumaMan surgical trainer has become a preferred alternative to the use of animals by both medical students and instructors alike for teaching emergency trauma surgical skills.[3][4]

TraumaMan is used to train on the following surgical procedures [5]
