Wound reconstruction & trajectory analysis
Forensic science programs use our 250 lb male and 225 lb female full-body dummies for crime-scene reconstruction, trajectory analysis, and wound-channel documentation.

Anatomical ballistic gel models for medical & forensic training.
Anatomically accurate ballistic-gel models for medical training, forensic science programs, EMT/paramedic training, and academic research institutions.
The anatomical range
Cast from real anatomy, rendered in gel.
Every model is poured from anatomically accurate molds — resin bone positioned inside tissue-equivalent gel, photographed exactly as it ships. Whole-body down to fine-procedure parts.
Built for the bench
Why labs & institutions specify BDL
Forensic scientists, medical educators, and trauma researchers need an analog calibrated to a published benchmark — not approximated to feel. BDL's gel is tissue-equivalent, anatomically positioned, and ships ready for institutional procurement.
01 /
Tissue-equivalent gel
FBI-spec 10% ordnance gelatin matches pig-muscle density — the published benchmark for wound-ballistics research. Calibrated, repeatable, peer-reviewed. The medium your studies cite.
02 /
Anatomically accurate
Skeletal positioning and organ placement match human anatomy. Resin bones replicate the resistance medical students feel during cric, chest tube, and emergency thoracotomy practice. Wound channels read true on CT and X-ray.
03 /
Specialty configurations
Custom gel formulas to match your study spec. Radiopaque bones for CT/X-ray training. Ultrasound-optimised phantoms. Trauma trainers cast in durable materials for repeat use across a curriculum or research protocol.
04 /
Institutional PO ready
PO acceptance, pro forma invoices for grant-funded purchases, and grant-friendly bulk pricing. We've sold into university procurement systems, ME offices, and federal research labs.

Common questions
From medical & forensic buyers
The questions every medical school, ME office, and forensic consultant asks before the first PO. Anything else, the team is one call away.
Still have questions? Contact usHow does ballistic gel compare to live tissue?
10% ordnance gelatin meets the FBI specification — calibrated to pig muscle tissue, the published benchmark for wound-ballistics research. It matches the density and resistance of human soft tissue closely enough to be the medium cited across the peer-reviewed literature.
Can the gel preserve wound channels for documentation?
Yes. Unlike live tissue, ballistic gel preserves the wound channel for precise measurement, photography, and 3D imaging — making it the medium of choice for forensic reconstruction and trauma documentation that needs to hold up in court.
Do you support grant-funded purchases?
Yes. We provide pro forma invoices, formal quotes, and budget-friendly bulk pricing for grant-funded research. Email us your grant timeline and we'll structure the order to fit your funding window.
Can you build custom anatomical models?
Yes. We've built specialized models for forensic research labs, military medical units, and medical schools — pediatric sizing, alternate body habitus, embedded pathologies, or specific organ configurations. Typical custom lead is 4–6 weeks.
Do you offer educational discounts?
Yes. Academic and educational institutions qualify for institutional pricing on bulk orders. Email information@ballisticdummylab.com with a procurement contact and we'll send a quote and W-9 within one business day.
