The Life/form® Tracheostomy Care Simulator is the most realistic approximation of a patient available today. Careful attention to detail is incorporated into this pseudopatient.
Visual Landmarks and visual Verification of Bronchial Location
Suctioning techniques, proper cuff inflation, dressing changes and other techniques can be practiced and critiqued
Replicates an adult male containing oral and nasal passages and all appropriate anatomy - pharynx, epiglottis, trachea, esophagus, stoma, cricoid cartilage and representative cervical vertebrae
The chest area contains left and right bronchi and the bronchial tree
The esophagus dead ends 2 below the trachea opening.
The side of the neck and chest area over the bronchial tree allow viewing of the suction and trachea tube
The viewing window at the bottom of the simulator shows the location of a suction catheter in the right bronchus (seen) or left bronchus (unseen)
Oral, nasopharyngeal, nasotracheal and tracheal suctioning can be practiced
Cleansing of the stoma area can be performed just as on an actual patient
Changing dressings and ties is also possible and the experience is very close to an actual one
Complete with instruction guide, hard carrying case and REN cleaner
