Features

Life/form® Female Catheterisation Simulator

• 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, and the cuff must be completely deflated before the catheter is removed
• Improper use of a Foley can result in damage to the simulator
• This simulator is the torso of a middle-aged woman with thighs abducted for proper position during catheterisation
• The external genitalia and perineum are molded in lifelike form
• The labia minora can be spread apart naturally to reveal the clitoris, urethral opening, and vaginal introitus

Life/form® Male Catheterisation Simulator

• A lubricated catheter can be inserted in the urethral orifice, passed through the urethra, and into the bladder
• When the bladder is successfully entered, artificial urine (water) will flow from the catheter
• The student will feel the normal restrictions caused by the mucosal folds, bulbous urethra, and the internal urethral sphincter, just prior to entrance into the bladder
• The experience teaches proper positioning and movement of the penis to allow the catheter to pass easily with a minimum of discomfort to the patient
• Just as in a real patient, the cuff must be completely deflated before the catheter is removed
• Improper use of a Foley catheter can result in damage to the simulator, just as when using a Foley catheter with a real patient
