Tactical Realistic Wound Representation (TRWD)
One of our main focuses in the area of special FX is the depiction of wounds, injuries, accident wounds, etc. We can draw on many years of experience from countless missions.
Our main focus is on combat injuries or operational injuries, which is why we do not refer to ourselves as RUND (or RUD) but as Tactical Realistic Wound Representation (TRWD).
For us, this also includes (if desired) equipping the actors with appropriate clothing or equipment for the scenario, including scenic coordination with the injury, etc. It also includes putting on certain rescue equipment or simulating it. We are happy to advise you on this in a preliminary discussion.
Some examples of the most common injuries depicted:
- Gunshot wounds of all kinds (stick wounds, grazes, through-shot wounds)
- Cut wounds of all kinds and sizes, regardless of how they were caused
- Splinter wounds of all sizes, from splinters, shrapnel to large tears
- Injuries caused by explosive charges, IEDs, etc.
- Burns of various degrees including blisters, skin peeling, etc.
- Specific injuries to the head and face area (mouth, jaw)
- Open neck or large neck wound with exposed windpipe
- Hematomas and body trauma
- Open and closed fractures
- Amputation injuries or torn limbs (in collaboration with real amputee actors)
Our wound portfolio includes over 25 of our own, designed transfer wound forms (for quick use) as well as various special forms from the USA. We also build our own prostheses and have access to silicone materials.
The images are just a few examples.

We work with materials specially developed for the SFX makeup sector and thanks to our equipment and our experience, many wounds can be created in a very short time, meaning they can be used quickly. During use, these can be quickly reworked and also have a long shelf life of up to 12 hours.
It goes without saying that we only work with tested and compatible materials. Hygiene is absolutely paramount – and not just since Corona. This also includes making sure that the actors do not have any real wounds on their skin or dermatological abnormalities.
We are always open to suggestions and ideas for new injury patterns and are happy to develop suitable concepts with our customers. At the beginning of every order, advice is the key to a successful order.
