Description

Key Features

  • Realistic Simulation: The device is made from a soft, lifelike material that feels like human skin and tissue. When pressed, it will indent and slowly return to its original shape, accurately replicating the "pitting" characteristic of edema.

  • Adjustable Severity: The primary feature is the ability to control the amount of simulated edema. By adding varying amounts of water to the device's internal reservoir, an instructor can create different levels of pitting edema, corresponding to the clinical grading scale (1+ to 4+).

  • Wearable Design: It is designed as a sleeve or "legging" that can be easily slipped onto a person's leg or a manikin's leg, making it versatile for various training scenarios, including Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs).

  • Size: This specific model, SB50963, is designated as Adult Large.

  • Complete Kit: The product typically comes with the legging itself, a fluid supply bag with tubing, and instructions for use.

  • Latex-Free: Most modern medical training products, including this one, are made from latex-free materials to avoid allergic reactions.

Educational Applications

This training tool is used in a variety of educational programs, including:

  • Nursing Schools: For teaching fundamental assessment skills.

  • Medical Schools: For training future physicians in physical examination techniques.

  • Paramedic and EMT Programs: For assessing trauma and medical patients.

  • Physician Assistant Programs: For comprehensive clinical skills development.

Students use it to learn how to:

  1. Properly palpate the pretibial area (shin).

  2. Apply firm pressure for a specific duration (e.g., 5 seconds).

  3. Observe and measure the depth of the resulting pit.

  4. Grade the edema using the standard scale.
