Gen II Femoral Vascular Access and Regional Anesthesia Ultrasound Training Model

Skills

• Blue Phantom’s Generation II Femoral lower torso ultrasound guided regional anaesthesia and central venous access training model is an excellent tool to train users to develop and practice the skills necessary to gain proficiency in using ultrasound for regional anaesthesia procedures of the femoral nerve as well as guide catheter insertions in the femoral artery and vein
• Excellent for new users as well as more experienced users who are refining their vascular access procedural skills, the vessels in this central venous access medical training mannequin can be accessed with needles as well, as fluid can be injected into the model to verify needle tip location
• Comprised entirely of patented SimulexUS™ self-healing tissue, users can access vessels on both limbs resulting in twice the number of access sites compared to the original model. With our innovative new hand pump system, the femoral artery no longer collapses creating our most realistic anatomy yet
• Excellent for training clinicians develop and practice the psychomotor skills and techniques associated with vascular access procedures using ultrasound for regional anaesthesia procedures of the femoral nerve and to guide needle catheter insertions in the femoral artery and vein
• 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
• Superb ultrasound imaging characteristics; learn to acquire and interpret ultrasonographic imaging of nerves and vessels
• Inject simulated anaesthetics to perform the entire ultrasound guided regional anaesthesia and nerve block procedure and verify needle tip location
• Ultrasound skills include using ultrasound system controls, transducer positioning and movement, recognition of nerves, arterial and venous anatomy, using ultrasound to target the femoral nerves for regional anaesthesia procedures, guide needles to blood vessels for cannulation, and performing vascular access procedures
• This ultrasound phantom model is excellent for specialties including anaesthesiology (anaesthesiology), cardiology, emergency medicine, radiology, surgery, surgical training programs, ultrasound training programs, simulation centres, surgical skills centres, medical education facilities, and ultrasound manufacturers for ultrasound education and demonstrations
• The included DVT allows users to learn to identify deep vein thrombosis of the deep veins of the legs. Excellent for experiencing a resistance to threading guidewires and catheters due to deep vein thrombosis (DVT)

Features

• Each model offers anatomically correct femoral nerve and branches along with the saphenous nerve, the fascia iliaca nerve for regional anaesthesia
• For central venous access: vascular anatomy of the right lower torso including the femoral artery and vein, aorta, IVC, common Iliac artery and vein, internal iliac artery and vein, great saphenous vein, simulated DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) in the lower left femoral vein
• Users can utilise traditional anatomical landmarks for blind venous access insertion techniques, or utilize ultrasound to obtain images of pertinent anatomical structures
• Arterial pulsations, using the included hand pump, can help users differentiate between arteries and veins as well as offering providing internal reference points for regional anaesthesia procedures
• Positive fluid flow in the vessels provides users with immediate feedback when vessels are accessed
• Injected simulated anaesthetics fluids are automatically expelled so that the model can be used repeatedly for training
• Simulated blood fluids in the arterial vessels differ from the venous system allowing for users to easily verify successful venous access procedures
• Venous and arterial fluids that are removed during central catheter insertions training are easily refilled using the EasyFill ports™
• While performing vascular access central catheter procedures, internal vessels accommodate the full threading of guidewires and catheters
• Using your own ultrasound system for simulation training this medical simulation trainer 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)
