Overview

This compact model realistically simulates skin and skeletal structures at puncture sites. It features intelligent detection for monitoring disinfection, anesthesia, puncture location, and depth during thoracentesis, with indicator lights to guide operators. Ideal for clinical skills training and exam preparation.

Anatomy

Represents an adult back in a semi-supine position.
Palpable landmarks include the scapula, scapular angle, and intercostal spaces for precise localization.

Realism
