A manikin for the teaching and practice of pericadiocentesis techniques and ongoing chest tube maintenance.
The Pericardiocentesis Simulator LF03769 has been designed to teach the necessary skills to perform this difficult procedure as well as ongoing chest tube maintenance and the management of pre-hospital chest trauma.
The simulator features a pressurized tension pneumothorax site as well as a site for the surgical placement of a functional chest tube. Fluid colour, volume and viscosity can all be controlled. The trainer can be used with any commercially available closed water seal drainage unit. Pericardiocentesis can 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.
The Life/Form Pericardiocentesis Simulator includes fluid reservoir bag, foot pump, surgical skin pads, subcutaneous surgical pads, nurse training pads, pneumothorax pads, blood powder, methyl cellulose thickener, simulated pericardium, IV bag, and a hard carry case. Replacement Blood Powder (LF03775), Simulated Pericardium (LF03768), Surgical Skin Pads (LF03771), Subcutaneous Pads (LF03772), and Pneumothorax Pads (LF03773) and Methyl Cellulose (LF03774) available for this model - please contact us.
