This simulator can be used to train students in performing central venous catheterization. All appropriate landmarks are palpable for realistic identification of insertion sites. Synthetic skin may be removed from the shoulder to reveal dissected musculature and location of veins, arteries, and other landmarks. With the skin in place, you can insert the needle introducer. The tactile sensation is very realistic. Artificial blood will flow from the needle. With teaching guide and carrying case.

Product Details
The Life/form® Heart Catheterization Simulator is used to train students in the techniques of performing central venous catheterization. All appropriate landmarks are palpable for realistic identification of insertion sites. Synthetic skin may be removed from the shoulder to reveal dissected musculature and location of veins, arteries, and other landmarks. With the skin in place, you can insert the needle introducer. The tactile sensation is dramatically realistic.

Artificial blood is connected to provide confirmation of proper needle location; "blood" will flow from the needle, just like the real thing. Venous catheters can be snaked into place once the introducer is properly inserted. Use of a Swan-Ganz catheter is possible.

Skin and veins will stand up to repeated puncture to allow training by dozens of students. The Life/form® skin and veins are easily replaced once worn. Students can also practice proper care of the puncture site, parenteral administration of fluids, and measuring central venous pressure. Bandaging techniques can also be practiced with no fear of infection or other harm to a patient.

In emergency medical training programs, practice delivery of large volumes of fluids in trauma. Inject for swift action as required for cardiac life support procedures.

Includes fluid supply bags, replaceable skin, tubing sealant, needles, one quart of Life/form® blood, and teaching guide in a hard carrying case. Fluid supply stand not included.
