Erler zimmer chest tube manikin
Features and Benefits
- Now there is a manikin 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 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 colour, volume, and viscosity are controlled by the instructor.
- The Chest Tube Manikin is perfect for teaching the concepts and mechanics of closed water-seal drainage systems like ‘Pleur-Evac’ type units.
- Manikin comes with two visual sites for chest tube maintenance, five replaceable surgical chest tube sites, five replaceable pneumothorax chest pads and a hard carrying case.
