This Multi-purpose Gastric Lavage Trainer has been created to help students carry out gastric lavage through the nasal and oral passage. This trainer details life-like landmarks including the trachea, oesophagus, lungs and stomach within the transparent abdomen window.

Practice gastrointestinal care procedures through nasal and oral access. Mucous-like fluids can be created to simulate a real-life patient. Maximise the training sessions and create realistic gastric lavage and suctioning by adding fluid to the stomach and lungs.

This multi-purpose gastric lavage simulator has been created as a torso body which can be positioned at 30° semi-sitting and sitting up position. There is also a 45-55cm distance between the central incisor and the stomach.

• Electric aspirator
• Gastric lavage tube
• Automatic gastro lavage machine
