Sciatic Nerve Regional Anaesthesia Ultrasound Training Model

Skills

• Blue Phantom Sciatic Nerve Regional Anaesthesia Ultrasound Training Mode is excellent for training clinicians in developing and practicing the psychomotor skills to gain proficiency in using ultrasound for peripheral nerve block regional anaesthesia procedures of the sciatic nerve
• Ultrasound imaging skills include; using ultrasound system controls, transducer positioning and movement, recognition of the sciatic nerves, using ultrasound to target the sciatic nerves for regional anaesthesia procedures including injecting simulated anaesthetics in the model for simulating the entire sciatic nerve peripheral nerve block procedure and to obtain images of anatomical structures
• This ultrasound phantom model is excellent for specialties including anaesthesiology, emergency medicine, surgery, surgical training programs, ultrasound training programs, simulation centres, surgical skills centres, medical education facilities, and ultrasound manufacturers for ultrasound education and demonstrations

Features

• Model offers an anatomically correct and sonographically realistic sciatic nerve in the right leg positioned within a soft foam leg form
• Simulated anaesthetics can be injected into the mannequin to aid the user in learning to perform the entire ultrasound guided nerve block procedure
• Injected fluids are automatically expelled so that the model can be used repeatedly for training
• 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. Uncompromising quality allows clinicians to utilize the model repeatedly reducing the necessity for purchasing replacement parts
• This model will perform well using any ultrasound imaging system configured with the appropriate transducer (recommended ultrasound transducer; high frequency linear array ultrasound probe 5.0 – 12 MHz)
• Contains two tissue modules:
  • Proximal sciatic nerve module
  • Distal bifurcating sciatic nerve bundles
• Injected simulated anaesthetics can be used to verify needle tip location and to practice the entire regional anaesthesia procedure
• Injected simulated anaesthetics are automatically expelled
• Product specification:
• L 81cm W 20cm H 20cm
• Weight 11.5 Kg
