Description
Key Features:
Intraosseous Access Training: The primary function of this trainer is to allow students to practice placing an intraosseous needle into the head of the humerus. This is a crucial skill for emergency medical services when intravenous (IV) access is not feasible.
Realistic Anatomy and Feel: The trainer provides an anatomically accurate representation of a human arm from the shoulder to the elbow. It includes palpable landmarks such as the acromion and deltoid, which are essential for teaching students to find the correct insertion site. The synthetic bone inside is designed to mimic the density and feel of a human humerus, providing realistic resistance and a distinct "pop" when the marrow cavity is successfully accessed.
Fluid System for Feedback: The trainer includes a fluid system that allows for the simulation of blood aspiration. When the needle is properly placed, trainees can aspirate simulated blood, which provides immediate, objective feedback on the success of the procedure.
Durable and Reusable: The trainer is built to withstand repeated needle insertions, making it a cost-effective solution for frequent training. The skin and bone are made from resilient materials, and the internal fluid system can be refilled.
Portable and Convenient: The trainer is compact and lightweight, making it easy to transport and set up for various training scenarios.
