Regional Anaesthesia Ultrasound Training Block Model

Skills

• Blue Phantom Regional Anaesthesia Ultrasound Training Block Model is excellent for assisting clinicians develop, practice and maintain the skills necessary to use ultrasound for guiding regional anaesthesia peripheral nerve block training and vascular access procedures as well as developing the psychomotor skills of guiding needles to simulated nerves and vessels in the human patient
• The position of the nerves allow for users to evolve their ultrasound procedural techniques from acquiring and targeting solitary nerves to more advanced techniques involving targeting multiple nerves
• Surrounding vessels are used as reference points and can be used for ultrasound guided vascular access procedures
• Designed for new users as well as more experienced users who are refining their procedural skills
• Simulated anaesthetics can be injected into the model to verify needle tip location and to practice the entire regional anaesthesia procedure
• Once users accurately access the vessels within the model, positive fluid flow provides the user with positive feedback that they have cannulated the targeted vessel
• Ultrasound imaging skills include using ultrasound system controls, transducer positioning and movement, recognition of vessels and nerves in soft tissue, and using ultrasound to target the vessels and nerves for ultrasound guided regional anaesthesia and vascular access procedures
• Model is excellent for specialties including anaesthesiology, emergency medicine, radiology, surgical training programs, ultrasound training programs, simulation centres, surgical skills centres, medical education facilities, and ultrasound manufacturers for ultrasound education and demonstrations

Features

• Model contains three 5mm nerves and a branched 6mm vessel that bifurcates into three individual vessels
• 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 without the costs of replacing disposable parts
• Fluids are automatically expelled so that the phantom can be used repeatedly for training.
• 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)
• Positive fluid flow when vessels are accurately accessed
• Prefilled vessels are easy to refill
• Fluid can be injected into the model to verify needle tip location (automatically expelled)
• Convex surface contour offers a scanning environment similar to human body habitus
• Use with 18 – 21 gauge needles and catheters
• Product dimensions:
  • L 17cm W 13cm H 6cm
  • Weight 1.4 Kg
