Objective: to describe the production of low-cost simulators for teaching the assessment of wounds and skin lesions.
Method: an experience report, guided by the precepts of technological production research, carried out at a public higher education institution in the Federal District - Brazil, between January 2022 and December 2023. To develop the study, we followed the step-by-step development of replicable low-cost simulator models for training skills in wound assessment and dressing technique.
Results: three wound simulator models were produced, representing: lesions with granulation tissue and lesions with necrotic and infected tissue, both with regular and level edges, lesions with eschar and necrosis, and macerated, regular, and uneven edges.
Conclusion: Products can be an option for developing skills such as creativity, adaptive capacity, and material handling.
