Susie® Simon Newborn Patient Care Simulator

Life/form® Auscultation Trainer and Smartscope Heart and Lung Sounds - A major breakthrough in auscultation training! Life/form® Ausculation Trainer and Smartscope Features: Invisible Auscultation Sites No Internal Speakers Completely Wireless Palpable Landmarks Heart and Lung Sounds Vary at Different Sites Remote Controlled Hard Storage Case Included The instructor selects from a menu of heart and lung conditions by wireless remote control. The Life/form® Ausculation Trainer and Smartscope Manikin presents itself as a real patient without visible auscultation sites. The student must palpate to identify correct auscultation locations, and will hear different heart and lung sounds as the Smartscope is moved to different locations on the manikin. A diagnosis of the condition selected by the instructor can be made by comparing the variations in sounds occurring at different sites. Just like a real patient! Lung sounds can be detected at five anterior, 10 posterior, and two midaxillary locations. Students can practice auscultation at six anterior heart sites. The remote control does not have to be pointed directly at the manikin or SmartScope to operate. One remote control will operate multiple sets of SmartScopes and/or manikins simultaneously. Great for group instruction. Listen to the sounds by either using headpieces on SmartScope or by connecting to an amplifier/speaker (not included). Range on the unit is up to 100 feet of remote access. The Life/form® Ausculation Trainer and Smartscope Includes: One remote control with LCD display One SmartScope with single and dual-user headpieces Hard storage case Two "AA" and two "AAA" batteries.

EYE Examination Simulator (3 Step)

The EYE Examination Simulator is an innovative trainer for fundus examination, designed to allow examination of eyegrounds with the physician's own ophthalmoscope. Various cases can be set up for trainees using combinations of choice of slides, depth and pupil diameter. Soft and supple material allows hands-on simulation of real examination procedures, such as raising the eyelid.

Chester Chest™ has been an industry standard since 1986 for the teaching of central line care. The right chest area of Chester Chest™ has a 9.6Fr tunneled central catheter that is visible up to the clavicle. The Dacron cuff on this catheter is also discernable. The external jugular vein is slightly raised with an opening to attach your own triple lumen catheter and there is also an opening in the upper chest area for placement of a subclavian catheter. These optional catheters are available from VATA, or if you prefer, you can send us the catheters your institution uses and we will install them at no charge. Included with this model is a real port that makes it possible to simulate accessing the following IVAD placements: normal, “tipping”, “wandering”, or deeply placed in the left chest area. Successful access is confirmed by a blood return. Fluid can be infused and blood withdrawn from all the lines.

Life/form® Chest Tube Trauma Manikin

Life/form® Chest Tube Manikin is designed specifically to teach the theory, anatomy, and skills needed to manage pre-hospital chest trauma, as well as ongoing chest tube maintenance. The right side of the manikin has two cut-away viewing areas to provide awareness of the anatomical relationships between the skin surface, musculature, ribs, and lungs. The left side has a pressurized tension pneumothorax site to relieve air that has accumulated within the pleural space and is restricting lung inflation. There is also a site where chest tubes may be surgically placed to treat pleural effusion by draining fluids from the pleural space. The fluid color, volume, and viscosity is controlled by the instructor. The Life/form® Chest Tube Manikin is perfect for teaching the concepts and mechanics of closed water-seal drainage systems like "Pleur-Evac" type units.
