A wound simulation device suitable for use in testing absorbent dressing is comprises a chamber 4 for a liquid and a porous member 6 with a wound simulation surface 8 which forms part of the exterior of the device. The wound simulation surface 8 has a plurality of pores which are in fluid communication with the chamber 4. A pressurisation device 14 is used to apply pressure to liquid in the chamber 4, thereby causing liquid to emerge from pores in the wound simulation surface 8. The dimensions of the pores can be chosen such that substantially no liquid emerges from the pores unless a pressure is applied to liquid in the chamber 4. This allows the wound simulation device to be used in various orientations, including vertical, and allows the wound simulation surface to be convex if required. |
