Abstract: A syringe injection practice model is constructed of a skin-like layer of gel-like material having a consistency similar to that of human skin and being punctureable by a syringe needle in a simulated manner to abdominal insulin injection, the layer being mounted onto an outer surface of a base of cushion-like, fibrous fill material having an open cell configuration for allowing air to circulate therethrough. An outer surface of the base has a generally abdominal region configuration, an inner opposite surface is adapted to lie substantially flat on a substantially rigid, flat support. A breathable cloth wrapping substantially surrounds the layer and base and maintains their relative positions. The wrapped layer and base combination is mounted on a substantially flat, rigid support.
