Description

Key Features

  • Anatomical Accuracy: The replacement rib cage is designed to be anatomically correct, providing the realistic feel and structure of a human chest cavity.

  • Durable Construction: Made from robust materials, the rib cage is built to withstand the physical stress of repeated training exercises, such as chest compressions.

  • Seamless Integration: It is designed to be easily installed into a compatible patient simulator, allowing for quick and hassle-free replacement when the original part becomes damaged or worn.

  • Cost-Effective Maintenance: By replacing just the rib cage, training facilities can extend the life of their expensive patient simulators without having to purchase a new manikin.

Uses

The replacement rib cage is essential for a number of training applications, particularly those involving the thoracic region:

  • Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Chest Compressions: It provides the necessary structure and tactile feedback for trainees to practice chest compressions with the correct hand placement, depth, and rate. This is critical for both Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS) training.

  • Tension Pneumothorax Reduction: The manikin's design, which includes the rib cage, allows for the practice of bilateral chest decompression. This involves using a needle to relieve pressure in the chest cavity, a procedure that requires an understanding of the underlying anatomy.

  • Chest Tube Insertion: The rib cage provides a realistic framework for training in bilateral chest tube insertion, a skill used to drain fluid or air from the pleural space.

  • General Patient Assessment: The physical structure of the rib cage is also important for general patient assessment, as it provides the correct landmarks for auscultating heart and lung sounds.
