Description
Features
This "kit" is designed to be an internal part of the manikin, allowing for realistic prostate examinations. Its key features are focused on simulating the anatomy and conditions of the prostate gland.
Realistic Anatomy: The kit includes a simulated prostate gland that is anatomically correct in size, shape, and location within the manikin's pelvic area.
Simulated Conditions: A crucial feature is the ability to simulate different stages of prostate conditions, most notably benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer. The kit likely includes interchangeable parts or a mechanism that allows the instructor to present a "normal" prostate, as well as prostates with different degrees of enlargement or with hard, cancerous nodules.
Tactile Realism: The material used is designed to feel like real tissue, allowing students to practice palpation and develop the sense of touch needed to differentiate a healthy prostate from an enlarged one or one with a tumor.
Compatibility: It is a direct replacement or add-on for the TERi manikin, seamlessly integrating into the manikin's pelvic cavity.
Use
The primary use of the Teri Replacement Prostate Kit, LF04332 is in medical and nursing education to teach students how to perform a digital rectal exam (DRE) for prostate assessment. It is a critical tool for:
Patient Assessment: Students can practice the proper procedure for a DRE, learning how to correctly position the patient and use their fingers to palpate the prostate gland.
Clinical Skills: It provides a safe and repeatable way for students to learn how to identify the size, shape, and texture of the prostate.
Diagnosis of Conditions: By presenting different simulated conditions, instructors can train students on how to recognize the signs of BPH (e.g., uniform enlargement) and early-stage prostate cancer (e.g., hard nodules).
Communication Skills: The manikin, equipped with this kit, can also be used to role-play the communication aspects of the exam, such as explaining the procedure to a patient and discussing findings.
