Renal Biopsy Ultrasound Training Model

Skills

• Blue Phantom Renal Biopsy Ultrasound Training Model is excellent for Model is excellent for training clinicians develop and practice the psychomotor skills and techniques associated with percutaneous kidney biopsy procedures
• Model allows for repeated ultrasound guided renal needle biopsy using core needle biopsy or needle aspiration techniques
• Ultrasound imaging and procedural skills include using ultrasound system controls, transducer positioning and movement, recognition of kidney anatomy, the appearance of ribs and avoiding them during renal biopsy, using ultrasound to target the appropriate location for renal biopsy, and performing an ultrasound guided renal biopsy procedure
• This ultrasound phantom model is excellent for specialties including nephrology, interventional radiology, surgery, surgical training programs, ultrasound training programs, simulation centres, surgical skills centres, medical education facilities, renal biopsy device manufacturers and ultrasound manufacturers for ultrasound education and demonstrations

Features

• The model offers an anatomically correct adult male torso with an ultrasound tissue module containing skin, ribs, and right kidney with surrounding tissue
• The kidney internal and external architecture is superb in its realism and imaging characteristics and contains the renal cortex, renal medulla and major and minor calyx
• Blue Phantom’s patented provides users with a low cost of ownership. In addition to training users how to utilize ultrasound to image the kidney, users are able to perform two types of procedures on the model;
• Core needle biopsy procedures:
  • Clinicians using the ultrasound guided renal biopsy model for core needle biopsy are expecting to remove tissue samples from the model. Removing a core tissue sample leaves an air filled void in the kidney the size of the core sample
  • Users can expect to remove core biopsy samples30 times before the kidney requires replacement. The kidney is easily removed so that the unused upper kidney can be rotated to assume the lower pole position
• Needle Aspiration Procedures:
  • Clinicians using the ultrasound guided renal biopsy model for needle aspiration procedures can expect tremendous utility while utilizing 18 – 21 gauge needles
  • Users will experience the best healing performance when they utilize sharp, unbent needles
• This ultrasound training model is constructed using Blue Phantom’s patented SimulexUS™ 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
• Model will perform well using any ultrasound imaging system configured with the appropriate renal biopsy transducer
• Product dimensions:
  • L 71cm W 46cm H 43cm
  • Weight 9 Kg
