1. A simulated dissectible tissue structure for surgical training, comprising:
a planar multilayer structure having a top surface and a bottom surface, the planar multilayer structure comprising:
a top layer of silicone having an upper surface and a lower surface;
a bottom layer of silicone having an upper surface and a lower surface;
a middle layer located between the top layer and the bottom layer; and
a polyfill sandwich layer, the polyfill sandwich layer being connected to the lower surface of the bottom layer; and
a silicone layer having an upper surface and a lower surface; the silicone layer and the planar multilayer structure being bonded together to form a joint along an entire length of a strip of white silicone at a contact location,
wherein the strip of white silicone at the contact location is configured to bind the silicone layer and the planar multilayer structure together such that the upper and lower surfaces of each of the silicone layer and the planar multilayer structure are divided into two portions.
