Description

What this equipment is and what it's designed for.

Product No.: PC-SAE002.04

Overview

Anatomy

The model provides clear visualization of the swallowing and breathing mechanisms, demonstrating key actions such as tongue movement, uvula elevation, and pharyngeal muscle contraction, which are essential for understanding these physiological processes.

Realism

It intuitively demonstrates the relationship between eating position and bed angle, including the status of a nasogastric tube insertion at various angles, aided by electronic indicators.
This feature enhances the understanding of how head and neck positioning affects esophageal function.

Cleaning

Clean the simulator with a damp cloth, using warm water and neutral detergent.
Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents or materials.
Allow trainer to completely dry before storing.
Keep away from sunshine.
