Modeled for ear, nose and throat training rather than the oral cavity of the dental pad or a plain skin panel.
An anatomical suture pad is a silicone suturing-practice pad molded to the shape of a body part instead of being made as a flat sheet of skin. The molded form carries a groove in its surface that stands in for the wound, and the stitches are placed along it. What separates it from a plain suture pad is the molding itself: the practice surface is an anatomical shape, so the approach angle and the working space match the specialty the trainee works in. The dental pattern is molded as a dental arch with individually formed teeth and a gum ridge, and is made as a full arch and as half-arch (quadrant) blocks. The ENT pattern is molded as ear and other head-and-neck forms, with straight and wavy lines molded in as the wounds to be closed. It is supplied as the molded silicone pad alone, without a frame or mounting board and without instruments or suture.

How it is built
- Molded from silicone; the practice surface is an anatomical form rather than a flat panel
- Wound lines are molded into the surface as grooves rather than cut by the buyer
- Dental pattern: dental arch with individually molded teeth and a gum ridge, made as a full arch and as half-arch (quadrant) blocks, with a plain arch without teeth made alongside them
- ENT pattern: ear form with the outer rim and the bowl of the ear molded in, together with further head-and-neck forms and straight and wavy laceration lines
- Supplied as the pad on its own: no frame, no mounting board, no instruments and no suture

Main product
This article is one version of a product with a full specification page.
Material and quality
| Line | Steel | Origin | Finish | Inspection |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy line | AISI 410 | Pakistani or Taiwanese | satin, passivated | sample: visual + dimensional |
| Clinical line | AISI 420 | Pakistani or German | satin, passivated | sample + boil test |
| Premium line | AISI 420-440C | German or Japanese | fine polish, passivated | tighter sample + hardness test |
| Executive line | AISI 440C | German or Japanese | mirror polish, passivated | 100% inspection + laser mark |
This is the steel each line is made from as standard. A different origin can be supplied on request (a lower grade in Japanese steel, for example), agreed on your order.
Premium is the line where the choice is yours: 420 or 440C, agreed on your order. Economy is always 410 and Executive is always 440C. Those three are the instrument steels. Hollowware and sterilization containers are made in AISI 202 on a Clinical order and AISI 304 on a Premium or Executive one, and they are not offered in the Economy line at all, which is the section above.
True of every order
Instruments are marked to the buyer's requirement (TGI, unmarked, or the buyer's own brand), agreed on the order.
Customized packaging is part of what TGI supplies. Your own printed boxes, your labels, your brand on the pack, or plain export packing, whichever your market needs. The packing for your order is agreed with you and confirmed on the order.
Manufactured under the quality management system covered by TGI's ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certificates. Certificate numbers and the issuer's registry are on the certification page. Open the certificates
Every batch of steel is ordered to a specified grade and arrives with the mill's own certificate, which identifies the mill and states the grade. TGI checks the material at the factory against its own requirement before it goes into production. That check is TGI's own inspection, not an independent laboratory test.
TGI manufactures in its own factory in Sialkot and also supplies articles made by contracted partner workshops, to TGI's specification. Which applies to a given article is confirmed on your order.
