Life/form® Pericardiocentesis Simulator with Chest Tube and Pneumothorax
[SKU: LF03769]
The Life/form® Pericardiocentesis Simulator is designed specifically to teach the skills needed to perform this difficult procedure correctly, as well as ongoing chest tube maintenance and the management of pre-hospital chest trauma.
The simulator has a pressurized tension pneumothorax site and a site for the surgical placement of a functional chest tube. Fluid colour, volume, and viscosity can be controlled by the instructor.
The manikin may be used with any commercially available closed water seal drainage unit. Pericardiocentesis may be performed in the left subxiphoid space and in the left fifth intercoastal space. Accurate placement of the needle will allow for the withdrawal of fluid from the simulated pericardium.
Includes fluid reservoir bag, foot pump, surgical skin pads, subcutaneous surgical pads, nurse training pads, pneumothorax pads, blood powder, hydroxyethyl cellulose thickener, simulated pericardium, IV bag, and a hard carry case.
Five-year warranty.
The Life/form® Pericardiocentesis Simulator with Chest Tube and Pneumothorax (Model LF03769) is a comprehensive training tool designed to simulate critical pre-hospital trauma procedures. Ideal for Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS), Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS), and emergency medical training, this simulator allows learners to practice:
-
Needle decompression for tension pneumothorax
-
Chest tube insertion for thoracic trauma
-
Pericardiocentesis for cardiac tamponade
The simulator features a pressurized pneumothorax site and a site for the surgical placement of a functional chest tube. Fluid color, volume, and viscosity can be controlled by the instructor to mimic various clinical scenarios. The manikin is compatible with any commercially available closed water seal drainage unit and supports pericardiocentesis in the left subxiphoid space and the left fifth intercostal space. Accurate placement of the needle allows for the withdrawal of fluid from the simulated pericardium.
