In addition to catalog products, we also offer custom options starting from one piece. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

"Marsagel" is a practice gel that provides a sensation close to that of actual surgery, aiding in the improvement of surgical techniques using an electric scalpel. During practice, it is almost odorless and does not have the unpleasant smells often found in products compatible with electric scalpels. It allows for not only incision techniques but also peeling techniques, enabling more realistic practice. No moisture is required for storage, and it can be sealed in a ziplock bag. 【Features】 ■ Provides a sensation close to that of actual surgery ■ Aids in the improvement of surgical techniques using an electric scalpel ■ No unpleasant odors ■ Allows practice of both incision and peeling techniques ■ No moisture required for storage *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Are you experiencing any of the following issues with your current electric scalpel simulator? "I am concerned about the odor during use." "It is troublesome to store it in water." "If I don't change the water for storage, it gets moldy." "I want to practice not only cutting but also peeling techniques." At Tanac, we have developed a completely different material for electric scalpel simulators, enabling easy storage, odor reduction, and support for peeling technique practice. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Hardness refers to the value obtained by measuring the hardness or softness of materials such as rubber and sponge using a device called a durometer. There are several types of durometers that correspond to the hardness of the object being measured, with commonly used types being Type A, Type E, and Type D. Our company proposes thermoplastic elastomers and silicone RTV and Mirable as low-hardness materials. We have successful case studies of applications such as packing for respiratory devices, foot pressure point massage, and taping, all implemented with low hardness.

The "Punyu-kun" is a cooling pack designed to reduce the pain of injections. It quickly cools the injection site and dulls the skin's sensation to alleviate pain during the injection. The part of "Punyu-kun" that touches the skin uses a unique ultra-flexible gel material called Crystal Gel, which is used in medical settings. By encasing a non-freezing gel that does not freeze even when cooled in the freezer, it gently fits with a soft touch and quickly cools the injection site. Crystal Gel has a softness similar to that of an earlobe and is an original Tanac formulation that boasts high flexibility and high elasticity.
