Description

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

Avthor, a wearable chest tube care simulator, replicates the intrathoracic pressures needed to realistically teach the assessment and care of a patient with a chest tube. When pairing the Avthor with a live patient, the simulation can include repositioning, transferring, and/or ambulating a patient with a chest tube.

Key features

  • Pressurized system. This pressurized system mimics intrathoracic pressure ensuring accurate tidaling and fluctuation. You can even mimic an air leak to enhance the learning experience.
  • Accurate Tidaling. Students can accurately assess their patient’s chest tube by observing the tidaling and fluctuation of the closed chest drainage system on the wearable chest tube care simulator.
  • App Controlled. Paired with the easy-to-use app, you have complete control over blood flow, air leaks, and respiratory rate.
  • Removeable Crepitus. Optional inserts allow learners to assess and document their patient’s crepitus during the simulation learning experience.
  • Skin tones. 3 skin tone offerings.
