Heart Catheterization Simulator for Total Parenteral Nutrition and Central Venous Catheterization
Now you can train residents and staff in the techniques of performing central venous catheterization using
this Simulator. All appropriate landmarks are palpable for realistic identification of insertion sites. Synthetic
skin may be removed from shoulder to reveal dissected musculature and location of veins, arteries, and
other landmarks. With the skin in place, you can actually insert the needle introducer. The tactile sensation
is dramatically realistic. Artificial blood is connected to provide confirmation of proper needle location
when blood flows from needle, just like the real thing! Venous catheters can be snaked into place once the
introducer is properly inserted. Use of a Swan-Ganz catheter is possible. Skin and veins will stand up to
repeated puncture to allow training by dozens of staff members. The skin and veins are easily replaced once
worn. Also practice proper care of the puncture site and parenteral administration of fluids. Practice
measuring central venous pressure. Bandaging techniques can be practiced with no fear of infection or other
harm to a patient. In emergency medical training programs, practice delivery of large volumes of fluids in
trauma. Inject for swift action as required for cardiac life support procedures. Fluid supply stand not
included.
