Breast Biopsy Ultrasound Trainer

Manufacturer: Blue Phantom

Blue Phantom’s breast ultrasound medical training model allows users to develop and practice the skills necessary to gain proficiency in using ultrasound for imaging and surgical procedures.  Using Blue Phantom proprietary simulated human tissue, this very realistic and ultra-durable breast ultrasound surgical training model is excellent for training clinicians in the psychomotor skills associated with breast ultrasound guided fine needle biopsy procedures.  These ultrasound imaging skills include; using ultrasound system controls, transducer positioning and movement, recognition of soft tissue masses, breast lesions, and breast tumors in human soft tissue, and using ultrasound to target the lesions for fine needle biopsy.

Features

• Constructed using Blue Phantom’s patented ultra-durable and realistic simulated human tissue providing users an extremely realistic training model
• Feels and biopsies like human tissue
• Contains a variety of hyperechoic, hypoechoic, and echolucent masses
• Contains 14 masses of varying sizes – ranging from 4mm to 11mm
• Masses in central breast tissue and the Tail of Spence
  Extremely durable; use for repeated training

Paracentesis

Manufacturer: Simulab

This ultrasound compatible trainer allows the user to perform paracentesis from diagnosis to draining simulated ascitic fluid from the peritoneal cavity in the abdomen.

Features

Use ultrasound to minimize risks and learn to:

• Locate pocket of ascites
• Gauge the distance from skin to fluid, and from fluid to bowel
• Look for blood vessels beneath the skin
• Drain fluid from the peritoneal cavity
• Use traditional lateral gutter technique or midline linea alba technique
• Palpate anatomic landmarks significant to the procedure

Soft Tissue Biopsy Ultrasound Training Block Model

Manufacturer: Blue Phantom  

Blue Phantom soft tissue biopsy ultrasound medical training model allows users to develop and practice the skills necessary to gain proficiency in using ultrasound for imaging and surgical procedures.  Using Blue Phantom simulated human tissue, this very realistic and ultra-durable soft tissue biopsy ultrasound surgical training model is excellent for training clinicians in the psychomotor skills associated with ultrasound guided fine needle biopsy procedures.  These ultrasound imaging skills include; using ultrasound system controls, transducer positioning and movement, recognition of soft tissue masses as tumors found in superficial anatomical structures, using ultrasound system calculation packages, and using ultrasound to target the lesions for fine needle biopsy.

Features

• Excellent for developing and refining the psychomotor skills associated with ultrasound guided soft tissue biopsy procedures
• Contains a variety of masses that are hyperechoic, hypoechoic, and echolucent allowing users to gain experience utilizing a wide range of lesions as they would experience in the clinical environment
• Contains 16 masses of varying sizes – ranging from 4mm to 11mm - allowing users to develop their skills starting with larger lesions and target smaller masses as their skills progress
• Ultra-durable design saves you money
• Self healing tissue
• Synthetic tissue will never dehydrate
• Masses present randomly throughout the simulated human tissue
• Fluid can be injected into the model to verify needle tip location (automatically expelled)
• Convex surface contour offers a scanning environment similar to human body habitus
• Use with any ultrasound imaging system with appropriate transducer
  Practice using ultrasound system controls
