Leg Model Soft Tissue Biopsy Ultrasound Training Model

Skills

• Blue Phantom’s Leg Model Soft Tissue Biopsy Ultrasound Training Model is excellent for training clinicians in the psychomotor skills necessary to use ultrasound to locate and target masses in soft tissue
• Ultrasound imaging skills include; using ultrasound system controls, transducer positioning and movement, recognition of soft tissue masses and tumours in human soft tissue, and using ultrasound to target the lesions for fine needle biopsy
• Excellent for specialties including breast surgery, surgical training programs, ultrasound training programmes, simulation centres, surgical skills centres, radiology, medical education facilities, and ultrasound manufacturers for ultrasound education and demonstrations

Features

• Model contains 20 masses of varying sizes – ranging from 4mm to 11mm- that are hyperechoic, hypoechoic, and anechoic (echolucent) allowing users to develop their ultrasound skills starting with larger lesions and target smaller masses as their skills progress
• This ultrasound training model is constructed using Blue Phantom’s SimulexUS™ patented ultra-durable tissue and produces extremely realistic ultrasound images. The materials used matches the acoustic characteristics of actual human tissue so the user experiences the same quality expected from imaging patients in the clinical environment. Uncompromising quality allows clinicians to utilize the model repeatedly without the costs of replacing disposable parts
• Interchangeable with multiple additional leg inserts including those with vascular access, deep vein thrombosis, and foreign body identification capability
• Excellent for new users as well as more experienced users who are refining their procedural skills, the masses in this ultrasound guided tumour biopsy training model can be accessed with needles as well as fluid can be injected into the model to verify needle tip location
• Fluids are automatically expelled so that the model can be used repeatedly for training
•  Size 18 – 21 gauge sharp, unbent needles are recommended in order to maximize the self healing and ultra-durable performance of the ultrasound training model
• Core biopsies can be performed and tissue can be removed from the tumours in the model however each mass can only withstand core biopsy until the lesion is destroyed necessitating moving onto another mass in the model
• Model will perform well using any ultrasound imaging system configured with the appropriate transducer (recommended ultrasound transducer; high frequency linear array ultrasound probe 7.5 – 15 MHz)
• Self healing tissue
• Synthetic tissue will never dehydrate
• Contains a variety of masses that are hyperechoic, hypoechoic, and echolucent allowing users to gain experience utilizing a wide range of lesions as they would experience in the clinical environment
• Fluid can be injected into the model to verify needle tip location (automatically expelled)
• Use with any ultrasound imaging system with appropriate transducer
• Interchangeable leg inserts are available including Vascular Access (ABP071), Vascular Access with Deep Vein Thrombosis (ABP072) and Foreign Body Identification (ABP074)
• Interchangeable with multiple additional leg inserts including those with vascular access, deep vein thrombosis, and foreign body identification capability
• Product dimension
  • Length 81cm Width 20cm Height 20cm
  • Weight 11.5 Kg
