Teach students how to manage a tension pneumothorax with this cost-effective and hands-on Pneumothorax Simulator. It is perfect for emergency medicine, paramedic training and first aid courses.
Students can insert the needle into the 2nd intercostal space midclavicular line or the 4/5th intercostal space mid-axillary line to decompress the pneumothorax. A ‘pop’ can be heard when the needle enters the thoracic cavity providing a high level of realism.
To locate the correct space for needle insertion, students need to palpate the training model. They will be able to feel:
- Clavicle
- Ribs
- Manubriosternal joint
- Mamilla
Trainers can use the model to guide sessions about pneumothorax causes, complications and management. Enhance life-saving emergency medicine training!
