GELITA BALLISTIC Gelatine Portfolio - Brochure

BALLISTIC Gelatine immediately conjures the image of a crime scene, but it is not only used in forensic labs, it is also a very reliable and useful material for tissue simulations in medical applications, crash tests and simulations. The DLR, the German Aerospace Center, uses artificial birds made from BALLISTIC Gelatine, in aerospace bird strike tests. The tests simulate real birds hitting the engines, wings or other parts of the fuselage. In crash tests, BALLISTIC Gelatine is used to simulate animals (e. g. wild boars or deer). BALLISTIC Gelatine is also used to evaluate injuries caused by drones and quadcopters to human arms and legs. To develop new medical techniques and train physicians or surgeons, it’s BALLISTIC Gelatine to the rescue once again.
