The Wearable Chest Tube Trainer is an advanced medical training simulator designed for teaching the placement of tube thoracostomy. This trainer accurately replicates key aspects such as realistic friction during incision of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, appropriate resistance when puncturing the intercostal muscle and pleura for tube insertion, and provides direct simulated feedback from a protected patient actor.
Each Syndaver model is crafted using highly realistic synthetic human tissues that faithfully replicate the mechanical, thermal, and physicochemical properties of live tissue. This training tool is beneficial for emergency medical technologists, field medics, flight medics, naval medics, paramedics, first responders, emergency physicians, and nurses seeking to develop and refine their skills in chest tube placement.
