Soft Tissue Biopsy Ultrasound Training Block Model

Skills

• Blue Phantom Soft Tissue Biopsy Ultrasound Training Block Model is excellent for training clinicians in the psychomotor skills associated with ultrasound guided fine needle biopsy procedures and allows users to develop and practice the skills necessary to gain proficiency in using ultrasound for imaging and surgical procedures
• Model 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
• Excellent for new users as well as more experienced users who are refining their procedural skills, the masses in this soft tissue biopsy model can be accessed with needles as well as fluid can be injected into the model to verify needle tip location
• Ultrasound imaging skills include using ultrasound system controls, transducer positioning and movement, recognition of soft tissue masses as tumours found in superficial anatomical structures, using ultrasound system calculation packages, and using ultrasound to target the lesions for fine needle biopsy
• This ultrasound phantom model is excellent for specialties including breast surgery, surgical training programs, endocrinology training programs, radiology training programs, ultrasound training programs, simulation centres, surgical skills centres, medical education facilities, and ultrasound manufacturers for ultrasound education and demonstrations

Features

• Model contains 16 masses of varying sizes – ranging from 4mm to 11mm – allowing users to develop their skills starting with larger lesions and target smaller masses as their skills progress
• 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 partsIt is recommended that size utilize 18 – 21 gauge sharp, unbent needles are utilized to maximize the self healing and ultra-durable performance of the ultrasound training model
• Core biopsies can be performed and tissue from the tumours in the model can be removed however each mass can only withstand core biopsy until the lesion is destroyed. Training will then need to move on to another mass located 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)
• Fluids are automatically expelled so that the model can be used repeatedly for training
• Convex surface contour offers a scanning environment similar to human body habitus
• Product dimensions:
• L 17cm W 13cm H 6cm
• Weight 1.4 Kg
