Chest Drain Insertion Simulator
..can be used on Advanced Trauma Courses
The Chest Drain Trainer is a unique design, combining simulated tactile soft tissue within a practical and durable plastic casing. The practice and training of clinical and surgical techniques can be realistically achieved.
Key Skills
The identification of anatomical landmarks, such as the sternal notch and intercostal (rib) spaces
The students can make surgical incisions through the simulated soft tissue
Blunt dissection can be practiced with forceps * Complete finger rotation is possible
Practice realistic relief of Tension Pneumothorax between ribs 2 and 3 (where the release of air can be clearly heard and felt)
Pericardiocentisis, where fluid can be aspirated into a syringe. This is to demonstrate removal of blood from the pericardium
Seldinger technique can be used
Features
This innovative design accurately simulates the key anatomy of the chest, providing a realistic alternative to the use of animal tissue
The trainer presents as a patient lying flat on their back. Surgical access is lateral to the pectoralis major
The Chest Drain will take 20-25 full insertions (and more if the Seldinger technique is used)
The Chest Drain Trainer is used at many training centers world-wide, and on trauma life support courses in the UK
