Practice skills and procedures associated with the administration of local anaesthesia with this Local Anaesthesia Skin Pad. Ideal for medical students, junior doctors, as well as doctors who are undergoing their specialty or surgical training or consolidation. It will also be beneficial to other medical professionals, including nurses, physicians associates and surgical practitioners.
The skin pad is representative of the epidermis (top layer) of the skin and has embedded three types of surface imprints, to reproduce skin lesions of different sizes. The skin pad allows for the training of various, superficial local anaesthetic techniques including:
- The administration of topical anaesthesia (e.g., ointments or solutions)
- Subcutaneous or intradermal infiltration
- Direct injection of the local anaesthesia
- The encircling of the site of incision with walls of anaesthetic solution
- Correct needle placement
Another detail of the Local Anaesthesia Skin Pad is that a special, coloured injection is used to ensure accurate observation of the drug use. The numerous features of the skin pad make it an essential trainer to complement practical skills and surgical training sessions.
