Features and what's included

What the equipment does and what comes in the box, as described by the manufacturer.

Features

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 the 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.

Includes

1 Body in a Box simulator
1 real implanted port
2 inserts to simulate tipping and wandering ports
1 simulated blood reservoir bag (35 ml)
1 hard case
1 instructions manual
