Woochie Latex Open Wound

Woochie Latex Open Wound

The Woochie Latex Open Wound is a ready-to-apply wound prosthetic from Woochie for a realistic open flesh wound. Stick it on, paint it in, add fake blood and your horror, Halloween or SFX look is complete.

What is the Open Wound?

A latex prosthetic shaped like an open flesh wound with visible muscle tissue. The thin, finished edges blend seamlessly into the skin for a realistic transition. Remove carefully, clean it and store it dry and you can use it multiple times.

Why does this prosthetic work so well?

No kneading, no waiting for dry time, no liquid latex to build up layer by layer. The shape is already there. Your work is in blending the edges, painting it in and adding the blood. That is where you make the difference.

How do you apply the Open Wound?

Hold the prosthetic dry against your skin first to find the right spot. Do this before applying any adhesive.

Apply a thin layer of skin adhesive to both the back of the prosthetic and your skin. Pros-Aide is the standard for long-lasting hold; for a quick fix you can also use spirit gum. Let the adhesive go tacky before pressing the prosthetic onto your skin.

Press the prosthetic firmly from the centre outwards to the edges. Blend the edges with liquid latex or Pros-Aide Cream. Several thin layers give the smoothest transition. Powder the edges well with setting powder before moving on to painting the prosthetic.

Painting and blood

Colour the prosthetic with water-activated, grease or alcohol-activated face paint (such as Encore palettes). Work in thin layers. Start with red-purple in the depth of the wound, then add a bluish edge, then dried blood along the sides. For the blood effect: apply fake blood inside the wound and a drying layer on the surrounding skin.

Setting and removal

Set your colour work with setting powder so nothing runs. To remove, work a Pros-Aide remover such as Mouldlife Life Wipes, Ben Nye Remove it All or Pro-clean Cleansing Oil under the edges, lift the prosthetic carefully and rinse the skin with lukewarm water.

What can you use it for?

• Halloween costume with a realistic open flesh wound
