CHARACTERISTICS

GENERAL:

• This anatomical healthcare model is supplied with a real port and it’s possible to simulate accessing the following IVAD placements: normal, “tipping”, “wandering”, and deeply placed.
• Successful access is confirmed by a simulated blood return, as the model has its own 35cc simulated blood reservoir bag neatly tucked inside.
• Can be accessed in or out of the case.
• No set-up or put away steps required for patient simulation.
• Great model to develop hand-eye coordination and gain confidence that easily transfers to patient accessing!
• Available in both light and dark skin tones.

ANATOMICAL:

• The two round inserts, used to simulate the “wandering” and “tipping” port, are interchangeable to vary the experience.
• The tissue flap that is placed over the port has two thicknesses – the 1/4″ side will approximate the feel when palpating a port at an average depth, while the 1/2″ side will approximate the feel when palpating a deeply placed port during simulation.
• The skin flap is made of VATA Inc.’s new Dermalike II™ material. This material has 63% less needle drag when accessing, improved tear resistance to accept twice the number of needle sticks, no oily/sticky surface, and is stain resistant.
• The underlying soft tissue block of this model permits the port to “float” when palpating through the skin flap, for a truly realistic experience.
