Female Catheterisation Simulator

Skills

• Female urinary catheterisation
• Anatomical identification
• Perineal care
• Patient positioning

Features

The simulator allows demonstration and practice in urinary catheterisation without embarrassment or discomfort to the patient or the students. Catheterisation simulators are also useful for anatomical identification and demonstration of perineal care.

The Female Catheterisation Simulator is constructed with a bladder reservoir, patient urethra and a valve simulating the internal urethral sphincter. The normal feeling of resistance and pressure will be experienced as a catheter is passed through the urethra, past the sphincter and into the bladder. When the catheter enters the bladder, artificial urine (water) will flow from the catheter just as in a real patient.

The simulator is the torso of a middle-aged woman with thighs abducted for proper position during catheterisation. The external genitalia and perineum are moulded in lifelike form, and the labia minora can be spread apart naturally to reveal the clitoris, urethral opening and vaginal introitus.

• Bladder reservoir, urethra and internal urethral sphincter valve
• Realistic resistance and pressure during catheter insertion
• Artificial urine flows when the catheter enters the bladder
• Torso with thighs abducted for correct positioning
• Lifelike external genitalia and perineum
