Scrubs Camp Moulage Session 45 minutes in length
Pre Session Preparation:
1.
Put throw away table cloths on tables enough for 2 students per table. Put table cloth on an
additional table for the makeup and paint supplies for the students to use after making their
own wound.
2. Get all the dixie cups filled with the supplies for each of the moulage’s. Takes too much time to
do it during the moulage session. Be organized, have one person hand out supplies as the other
person is explaining the moulage.
3. The latex skin and the blood will need to be heated in a microwave prior to use. Someone may
need to reheat prior to the session. Don’t get blood too runny.
4. Suggested time for first set up: 1 hour
Moulage sessions:
1. Talk about the word “moulage” how moulage is used in the movies
a. Show the Youtube video “The Art of Moulage” (1.5 minutes in length)
This video shows how Moulage is used in healthcare simulations
2. (If you have more than 45 minutes in length, use the diaper game to get started. 10 baby
diapers with 10 different candy bars melted on them.
3. Moulage 1: Diapers: Have students work in pairs.
a. ½ of students do meconium diapers (in pairs)
i. Each pair gets approximately a tablespoon of chocolate frosting or corn syrup,
oatmeal, and black food color
b. ½ students do breast fed diapers (in pairs)
i. Each pair gets approximately a tablespoon of mustard and a ½ teaspoon of
mustard seed
c. Have the students mix ingredients and spread on diapers.
d. Explain what meconium stool is and what breast fed stools are like.
4. Moulage 2: Vomit: Have students work in pairs
a. Give each pair of students 3 Tablespoons approximately of lemon juice and 2
tablespoons of parmesan cheese. Have them mix that together and smell.
b. Next give the students approximately 1 tablespoon of coffee grounds.
c. Next give the students approximately 1 tablespoon of grape or strawberry jelly.
d. Mix it all together.
e. When completed, dump everyone’s into one emesis basin.
i. Application Bile for lemon juice and choose
ii. Coffee Grounds: GI Bleed
iii. Jelly: Blood clots
iv. Emesis Basin: Explain what Emesis is and what the basin is for
v. Explain how you would chart the full emesis basin in a chart.
5. Moulage 3: Latex (non-latex) skin
a. Demonstrate how you will use the non-latex skin, apply to arm, make flubber, put that
on the arm on top of the latex skin, then add blood, bones, sticks to it as an injury.
b. Show the you tube video of EMT students making moulage for an injury accident
c. While video is showing, apply latex skin to students’ arms. Most students will want to
do this on themselves rather than working in pairs. Either way is fine.
d. Once latex is on skin, then have the students make their own flubber
i. Put glue in the bottom of a dixie cup. Add poster paint (Maroon preferable) but
if you do not have maroon, use red. You can try to add a little black to make it
darker but it usually just turns purple then. Mix well.
ii. Mix together 1 teaspoon of BORAX in a ½ cup of warm water. Give the students
About a ½ teaspoon of borax in their flubber. Once the flubber forms, have the
students make scars or tissue of it on their arms.
iii. Give the students pieces of broken bones or sticks to stick out of wound, secure
with the flubber.
iv. Next bring premade blood around and smear some on the wounds for the
students. Have the students arrange the scar and blood as they would like.
v. Then let the students put makeup and/or paint the areas around the wounds.
Using black poster paint on the edges makes it look like a burn or necrotic
tissue.
vi. When it is time to remove, have students use a piece of paper towel and take
the solid parts off, then they can wash their arms with soap and water.
vii. If there is extra time, you can have the students work in pairs to give the
story line behind their injuries. Depends upon the amount of time you have.

1 package of gelatin
1 Tbsp. Coconut oil
¼ cup Tapioca flour.
Mix in order: Water, coconut oil, tapioca flour, gelatin. Heat while stirring to a boil.
Make ahead of time, then warm in microwave for use. This goes quite far. Probable enough for
50 students as you just put a thin layer on the skin. While to video is playing, the instructor can
go around and with a plastic knife, spread it on the students forearms. (If student is right
handed, put it on their left arm).

6 + drops red food color
3 tablespoon gelatin
4.5 Tablespoon glycerin
