GELITA® BALLISTIC

The Perfect Base for Tissue Simulation

Ballistic Gelatin 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.

All Kinds of Simulations

For tissue simulations, GELITA® BALLISTIC Gelatin offers exceptional properties. It is ideal for replicating living soft tissue, making it invaluable for evaluating the impact of firearms on humans or animals. Models created from GELITA® BALLISTIC Gelatin provide a detailed visualization of ballistic events, including the projectile path and interactions with tissue. 

This allows for precise measurement of bullet penetration, deformation, fragmentation, path yaw, and tissue disruption, making it an essential tool for forensics. Additionally, varying the gelatin concentration enables the production of models with different densities to suit specific needs.

GELITA® BALLISTIC 1

For Clear Results in Highspeed Photo and Video Documentation

The very high transmission values of this gelatin guarantees a maximum of clarity when shooting films in highspeed. Typically used for simulations where objects passing the block need to be recorded. The gelatin concentration and preparation procedure will depend on the tests to be performed. Typical concentrations used are 20wt.% or 10wt.% gelatine solutions.

GELITA® BALLISTIC 2

Crash Tests Without Victims

The high gel strength and very bright color of this gelatin, is ideal for preparing large phantoms used for special crash test models. The gelatin concentration and preparation procedure will depend on the tests to be performed. Typical concentrations used are 20wt.% or 10wt.% gelatin solutions.

GELITA® BALLISTIC 3

The Official Material for Ballistic Investigations, Surgical Research, Test-Runs and Trainings

The very narrows specification of this gelatin for gel strength secures a maximum of high reproducibility, used e. g. by FBI, NATO, Federal Polices and Institutes. Typically used for simulations where objects remain in the block. The gelatin concentration and preparation procedure will depend on the tests to be performed. Typical concentrations used are 20wt.% or 10wt.% gelatin solutions.
