• Proctoscopy insertion and use
• Professional-to-patient communication

Wound Care Foot (1)

• Wound Assessment & Care

• Practicing use of LMA & Combitube
• Correct tube placement can be checked by practical inflation test
• Realistic anatomical features allow demonstration of Sellick   
• Maneuver and laryngospasm
• Bag-Valve-Mask ventilation
• Stomach inflation and vomiting situation can be simulated
• Provides visual inspection of lung expansion
• Provides auscultation of breath sounds
• Airway demonstration model is standard with each Trainer

Infant Endotracheal Intubation (1)

• Realistic anatomy of a newborn baby
• Intubation (oral and nasal)
• Bag-Valve-Mask ventilation
• Correct tube placement can be checked by practical inflation test

Neonatal Endotracheal Intubation (1)

• Realistic anatomy of a newborn baby
• Intubation (oral and nasal)
• Bag-Valve-Mask ventilation
• Correct tube placement can be checked by practical inflation test

Arterial Arm Stick (2)

• Simulation of hand placement during performance of Allen’s Test
• Flexible wrist enables proper positioning
• Arterial pressure may be generated manually
• Artery palpation is possible
• Percutaneous puncture sites in both brachial and radial artery
• Infusible arteries with ability to pressurize system, enable blood backflow in syringe
• Drain plug in deltoid of arm

Intravenous Arm Stick (6)

• Provides complete venous access for IV therapy and phlebotomy
• Sites for intramuscular and intradermal injections

Subcutaneous Injection (2)

• Help students to practice subcutaneous injections

Intradermal Injection (3)

• Intradermal injection practiced in a forearm from the wrist to just below the elbow

Intramuscular Injection (2)

• Realistic anatomical structures enable visualization of internal anatomy
• Student able to visualize line from the posterior superior iliac spine to the greater trochanter of the femur
• Skin wrap simulating subcutaneous fat aids in learning to determine appropriate needle length

Central Line Man System (2)

• Practice full central venous catheterization using ultrasound guided or blind/landmark insertion approaches at the subclavian, supraclavicular, and internal jugular access sites.
• Practice placing patient in appropriate position per access site standards
• Gain experience in identifying and selecting appropriate access site based on patient anatomical variations
• Practice use of ultrasound

SimScope Wi-Fi (2)

SimScope™ plays the programmed heart, breath and bowel sounds specific to each correct anatomical location enabling a realistic standardized patient encounter.

Up to 20 patches may be programmed and simultaneously activated with heart, breath, bowel, and bruit sounds to simulate real time auscultation during a physical exam.

Suturing Pads (many)

• Realistic 3-layer skin pad for the demonstration and training of a variety of incisions and a wide range of suturing techniques.

Ear Examination Trainer (2)

• Use and handling of an otoscope
• Examination of the acoustic meatus and  tympanic membrane
• Examination protocol and recognizing multiple diseases

Eye Examination Trainer (2)

• Teaching and practicing examination of the optic fundus with an ophthalmoscope.
• Examination  protocol and recognizing multiple diseases

Lumbar Puncture (4)

• Patient position management
• Skin preparation                                                                                                                                   
• Palpation of pelvic landmarks and spinous process

Breast-ON (4)

• Clinical breast examination (CBE)
• Self-breast examination (SBE)
• Identification of anatomical landmarks
• Identification of lymph nodes (axillary, supra & infraclavicular)
• Location and diagnosis of pathologies

Little Anne CPR Training Torsos (7)

• A realistic airway construction means that the airway naturally remains obstructed without the use of proper head tilt, chin lift or jaw thrust. This leads to more realistic training as chest rise will be seen when correct ventilations are made.
• Little Anne’s anatomically correct torso and sternal notch allow the student to practice identification of all anatomical landmarks relevant to conducting adult CPR training.
• Realistic oral and nasal passages allow for mouth-to-mouth ventilation.
