PICC Line Trining Model

Exceptionally Realistic

-         Unique design that looks, feels, and produces images similar to the human body. Different tissue layers are simulated in detail from a flexible moving skin, to elastic subcutaneous and muscle tissues, and rigid bones.

 1 phantom, 100 different patients

-         Multiple possible challenges during central line insertion are modeled in this mannequin. Vessel angulation, branching, tortuous veins, various depth and diameters, proximity to artery, vein-under-artery, presence of clot and dissection are simulated in our model. These are in addition to the anatomical normal internal and external jugular veins and arteries.

-         Refine your vascular expertise with the variety of vascular structures, even if you are already an expert.

-         Expertise comes with practicing and experiencing a variety of different tasks. The variety of incorporated challenges significantly boosts the hand-eye coordination of the interventionists.

-         External landmarks such as olecarnon, radial process, humerus and ulna are replicated. The density of the bony structures are the same as a real human skeleton in order to make realistic images under X-ray and CT scan

-         Our unique nano-polymer design combines high quality imaging and realistic intervention  (see why)

Durable and Efficient

-         Durable: resistant to needle and catheter insertion, extreme temperature, dehydration and decomposition

-        No left over needle track line

-         No replacement part is needed (Durable models should not need any replacement parts)

-         Self-healing

-        

-         High resistance to fire and extreme temperature

Life-like Procedure

-         Skin motion over the soft tissue: a more natural procedure

-         Realistic artery/vein compressibility

-         Realistic simulation of skin-needle interaction and soft tissue-needle interaction: Different regions have different skin resistance and tensile strength to provide the trainees with a higher level of clinical exposure.

-         Life-like reproduction of skin-dilator interaction and soft tissue-dilator interaction.

-         Needle tip can be verified by observation of fluid return from the needle or catheter.

-         The possibility to perform the complete cannulation process; starting from needle insertion to guidewire threading, dilation, and catheter placement.

-         No needle clogging of phantom. The needle does not break down the model.

-         Highly scientific mannequin design and manufacturing: We go beyond molding with traditional silicon and embedded tubes. Our unique phantom manufacturing process incorporates sophisticated production of nano-polymer elements that mimic tissue elasticity, attenuation, speed of sound, tissue recoil, friction with guide-wire and catheter, tissue resistance with respect to the needle, dilator and catheter. Vessel layers are made of arrays of polymer filaments, not silicon or plastic tubes.

-         Supports both ultrasound-guided and blind mid-line and PICC practices.

-         Arterial pulse can be simulated by a hand bulb. Hand bulb can be positioned inside or outside of the arm.

-         Easy refill using the wide caliber refilling port. It is possible to connect a tube to a hanging saline bag for large scale practice sessions or to maintain venous pressure. Also, it is possible to be connected to a pressure bag for arterial cannulation and pressure measurement.

-         Easily portable: The purchase includes a case for easier transportation, though no specific storage is required.

-         Accessories for easier practice are included, such as practice sheets and a repair kit (in case of accidental damage).

-         The purchase includes our Blue and red AmericanBionic blood mimicking fluid. The fluid is concentrated for easier transportation.

-         Our product is used to gain expertise at the desired time and location, without any risk, cost or inconvenience.

-         Develop expertise for ultrasound/x-ray/Fluoroscopy/CT imaging.

-         Become comfortable with ultrasound transducer maneuvering and machine settings.

-         Returns are accepted within the first thirty days, no questions asked.

-         Custom made models can be ordered.

-         Manufactured in the USA.

-         Green: Our new polymer nanofibers are earth friendly.

-         The materials and fluid used in the model are inert with no toxicity. To further minimize any possibility of allergy the model is covered by an inert gloss of 3 micrometer thickness.
