Abscess Drainage Ultrasound Training Model
- Blue Phantom Abscess Drainage Model is an excellent training tool for assisting clinicians to develop, practice and maintain the skills necessary to perform ultrasound guided Abscess Drains and assists clinicians in the acquisition and interpretation of sonographic images of abscess fluid pockets in various conditions, such as abscess directly under the tissue as well as abscess collection behind the rib
- Excellent for new users as well as more experienced users who are refining their procedural skills and seeking more challenging insertion technique training. Abscess pockets range in size from 1.5 cm to 5 cm. The model is designed to allow the user to improve skills with practice
- For beginners a large fluid pocket is placed directly beneath the surface of the tissue to allow users direct access and begin practicing the psychomotor skills of guiding needles under ultrasound
- The smaller abscess spaces are more difficult to access and require experienced users to navigate around ribs.
- Ultrasound imaging skills include using ultrasound system controls, transducer positions and movement, recognition of abscess anatomy, using ultrasound to target the appropriate abscess for drainage
- This ultrasound phantom model is excellent for specialties including, emergency medicine, nursing, surgery, ultrasound training programs, simulation centres, surgical skills centres, medical education facilities, and ultrasound manufacturers for ultrasound education and demonstrations
