Claims11
A method of using thermochromic ink for blood simulation in medical training, the method comprising:
- providing a thermochromic fluid for blood simulation where blood color is to be simulated;
- wherein the thermochromic fluid comprises a thermochromic ink;
- adjusting the temperature of the fluid thereby altering the color of the fluid;
- wherein the color of the fluid is bright red when the temperature of the fluid is 31° C. or higher, and the color of the fluid is dark red when the temperature of the fluid is 28° C. or lower;
- wherein the bright red resembles the color of real blood in oxygenated state;
- and wherein the dark red resembles the color of real blood in deoxygenated state.
