Abscess Drainage Ultrasound Training Model

Skills

• Blue Phantom Abscess Drainage Model is an excellent training tool for assisting clinicians to develop, practice and maintain the skills necessary to perform ultrasound guided Abscess Drains and assists clinicians in the acquisition and interpretation of sonographic images of abscess fluid pockets in various conditions, such as abscess directly under the tissue as well as abscess collection behind the rib
• Excellent for new users as well as more experienced users who are refining their procedural skills and seeking more challenging insertion technique training. Abscess pockets range in size from 1.5 cm to 5 cm. The model is designed to allow the user to improve skills with practice
• For beginners a large fluid pocket is placed directly beneath the surface of the tissue to allow users direct access and begin practicing the psychomotor skills of guiding needles under ultrasound
• The smaller abscess spaces are more difficult to access and require experienced users to navigate around ribs.
• Ultrasound imaging skills include using ultrasound system controls, transducer positions and movement, recognition of abscess anatomy, using ultrasound to target the appropriate abscess for drainage
• This ultrasound phantom model is excellent for specialties including, emergency medicine, nursing, surgery, ultrasound training programs, simulation centres, surgical skills centres, medical education facilities, and ultrasound manufacturers for ultrasound education and demonstrations

Features

• Model contains two ribs and three different abscess pockets ranging in size from 1.5cm, 3 cm and 5 cm
• Three abscess pockets are connected by a Quick Fill™ tube which allows users to refill the model quickly and efficiently
• The model is made of self-healing SimulexUS™ tissue allowing clinicians to repeatedly utilize this training aid SimulexUS™ tissue mimics the acoustic properties of human tissue and allows users to use their own ultrasound system to gain proficiency in a realistic training environment
• 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)
• It is recommended that size 18 – 21 gauge sharp unbent needles are utilized during training in order to maximize the self-healing and longevity of the model
• Positive fluid flow when abscess pockets are accurately accessed
• Prefilled with Clear Ultrasound Refill Solution
• Easy to refill via Quick Fill tube port
• Fluid can be injected into the model to verify needle tip location
• Convex surface contour offers a scanning environment similar to human body habitus
• Product dimensions
• L 23cm W 18cm H 10 cm
• Weight: 1.8 Kg
