Central venous catheter trainer
The CVC is an adult upper torso trainer for teaching best practices in central venous catheter insertion using ultrasound guidance.
This ultrasound-guided simulator features correct and realistic vascular anatomy. CVC provides unmatched realism for developing central line skills in needle insertion, wire manipulation, and catheter placement under live ultrasound guidance.
Model Features:
- Head already positioned into the optimal location at 10 degrees leftward rotation. This positions the right neck with anatomical landmarks accessible, enabling ergonomic practice of right-sided cannulation techniques.
- Adjustable base allows for 15-degree Trendelenburg positioning
- Realistic vascular tenting upon vessel access
- Fluid injection/withdrawal capabilities to confirm needle tip placement
- Full central venous catheter placement and Seldinger techniques can be practised
- Ultra material enables 40+ catheter insertions and 1000+ needle insertions per insert
- Simple fluid mechanisms to allow rapid blood refill for continuous training
- Arterial pulse simulation with hand pump activation
- Suture pad provided to practice suture technique and preserve the durability of the ultrasound insert.
