Male and female catheterisation can be performed on this model eliminating the need for two separate models
Features
This ultrasound training mannequin is constructed using Blue Phantom's patented SimulexUS™ technology and the ultra-durable tissue is extremely realistic in ultrasound imaging characteristics and feels like real human tissue
The self-healing tissue allows repeated performance of ultrasound guided central line placement procedures minimising the need for replacement parts
Realistic anatomy of the upper thorax and neck based on digital human files
Venous anatomy points of access include: internal jugular vein (IJ), brachiocephalic vein, subclavian vein and axillary vein
Arterial anatomy includes: carotid artery, subclavian artery and axillary artery
Simulated superior vena cava, right atrium and right ventricle offers users the ability to fully thread guidewires and catheters without resistance
Additional internal landmarks include the trachea, manubrium and clavicle
Veins are compressible using mild pressure while the arteries remain uncompressed
Arterial pulsation is simulated by the hand pump, allowing users to differentiate between veins and arteries
The venous system is prefilled with blue fluid and the arterial system is prefilled with red fluid. Positive fluid flow in the vessels provides immediate feedback of successful or unsuccessful vascular access
Venous and arterial fluid removed during central line procedures can be easily refilled by using the convenient QuickFill™ ports or an I.V. bag to automatically refill the vessels during training
