FemoralLineMan

Manufacturer: Simulab

FemoraLineMan is an ultrasound compatible task trainer that offers an effective training solution for central venous or arterial access using the femoral vein route. This femoral line trainer uses the same patented technology as the highly acclaimed TraumaMan System and allows medical professionals to train using real-time ultrasound guidance during catheter placement.

Features

  • Self-sealing tissues and veins provide the greatest value, in frequency of needle sticks and full catheterizations per access site, of any trainer on the market
  • Exceptional ultrasound imaging through repeated use—needle sticks and full catheterizations do not degrade the image acuity
  • Two colors of simulated blood differentiate the arterial and venous vessels—provides immediate feedback of unsuccessful cannulation
  • Arterial pulse is present and vein realistically compresses under palpation
  • Easily adjustable venous pressure regulator allows for vein compression or low pressure simulation scenarios
  • Replaceable tissues come pre-filled with blue venous and red arterial fluid
  • Tissues can remain filled when not in use, and are easy to refill with provided fluid when necessary

IS Nerve Block Trainer with Smartissue & Articulating Head

Manufacturer: Simulab

Brachial Plexus Nerve Block Training Interscalene / Supraclavicular Block for the Nerve Block Training System is ultrasound compatible and allows for both the interscalene and supraclavicular blocks. It simulates nerve stimulation using Simulab’s patent pending SmarTissue™, which allows the tissue to communicate with a PC, showing the user when the needle or catheter are proximal to or in contact with the C5, C6, or C7 nerve.
