Blue Phantom ultrasound guided paracentesis training model is designed to aid clinicians in the use of ultrasound to recognize intraperitoneal fluid collections and development of the psychomotor skills associated with ultrasound guided paracentesis procedures. The superb realism helps users learn to use ultrasound to identify appropriate anatomy and to guide needle and catheter placements in the mid abdominal region in a patient with intraperitoneal fluid consistent with hemoperitoneum, ascites or other pathological scenarios.

Some key features:

• Excellent for training clinicians in the psychomotor skills associated with ultrasound guided paracentesis procedures
• Ultra-durable self healing tissue is extremely realistic in ultrasound imaging characteristics and feels like real human tissue
• Self healing tissue will withstand tremendous use and will save you money by dramatically reducing the necessity for purchasing replacement parts
• Anatomically correct anatomy of the mid abdomen including the right lobe of the liver, small bowel, transverse colon, and peritoneal fluid collections
• Contains a variety of fluid pockets ranging in size from small, medium, and large allowing the user to begin their ultrasound training with easily obtainable fluid spaces and to progress to targeting smaller fluid collections as their skills progress
• Full lower torso from mid thorax to mid thigh
• Intraperitoneal fluids that are removed during ultrasound guided paracentesis training are easily refilled using quick fill ports
• Positive fluid flow in the vessels provides users with immediate feedback when intraperitoneal fluid is accessed
• Tissues match the acoustic characteristics of real human tissue so when you use your ultrasound system on our training models, you experience the same quality you expect from imaging patients in a clinical environment

The Female Urinary Catheterization Simulator allows learners to perform bladder catheterization just as they would on a real patient. The normal feeling of resistance and pressure will be experienced as a lubricated catheter is passed through the urethra, past the sphincter, and into the bladder. When the catheter enters the bladder, artificial urine (colored water) will flow from the catheter as it would with a real patient. This simulator is the torso of a middle-aged woman with thighs abducted for proper position during catheterization. The external genitalia and perineum are molded in lifelike form. The labia minora can be spread apart naturally to reveal the clitoris, urethral opening, and vaginal introitus.

A Foley catheter can be used if extreme care is taken to inflate the cuff only when it is in the proper position. Just as in a real patient, the cuff must be completely deflated before the catheter is removed. Improper use of a Foley can result in damage to the simulator, just as when using a Foley catheter with a real patient.

The Male Urinary Catheterization Simulator allows learners to perform bladder catheterization just as they would on a real patient. A lubricated catheter can be inserted in the urethral orifice, passed through the urethra, and into the bladder. When the bladder is successfully entered, artificial urine (colored water) will flow from the catheter. The student will feel the normal restrictions caused by the mucosal folds, bulbous urethra, and the internal urethral sphincter, just prior to entrance into the bladder. The experience teaches proper positioning and movement of the penis to allow the catheter to pass easily with a minimum of discomfort to the patient.

A Foley catheter can be used if extreme care is taken to inflate the cuff only when it is in the proper position. Just as in a real patient, the cuff must be completely deflated before the catheter is removed. Improper use of a Foley can result in damage to the simulator, just as when using a Foley catheter with a real patient.
