Description

Key Features

  • Targeted Training: The PKS is specifically designed for PICC line insertion. It replicates the anatomical structures necessary to perform this procedure, which is a common but complex skill in nursing and medical practice.

  • Realistic Vascular System: The simulator features a lifelike vascular system that includes the veins used for PICC line insertion, such as the basilic and cephalic veins. It provides a realistic feel upon needle puncture and a simulated blood flashback to confirm successful venous access.

  • Durability: The model is made with durable, self-sealing tissues and veins that can withstand multiple cannulations and insertions, making it ideal for repeated use in a training environment.

  • Ultrasound Compatibility: Many advanced vascular simulators, including the PKS, are ultrasound-compatible. This allows trainees to use real ultrasound equipment to visualize the veins and guide the PICC line insertion, which is the modern standard of care.

  • Integrated Technology: These types of simulators are often part of a larger system with a monitor or a PC, which allows for scenario control and performance feedback for the instructor.

Uses

  • PICC Line Insertion Training: The primary use is to teach and practice the complete PICC line insertion procedure, from gaining venous access to threading the catheter.

  • Medical and Nursing Education: It is an essential tool in medical and nursing school curricula, particularly in programs that train students for critical care, infusion therapy, and other specialties that require PICC line management.

  • Skill Refinement: The simulator allows for repetitive, hands-on practice, which is crucial for trainees to develop the dexterity, confidence, and muscle memory needed to perform this procedure on live patients.

  • Continuing Education: It is used in continuing medical education (CME) and continuing nursing education (CNE) courses to train experienced professionals in new techniques or to refresh their skills.
