- Needle decompression pneumothorax trainer 150-1800 — anatomical torso for training chest decompression in trauma: practicing needle insertion to release excess air from the pleural cavity.
- Allows training for placement at anatomical landmarks in the 2nd intercostal space (MCL) or 5th intercostal space (MAL).
- Realistic replaceable skin and consumable modules provide multiple uses in training groups.
Purpose of this simulator
- Practicing life-saving skills in chest trauma (training format for prepared specialists).
- Training in identifying anatomical landmarks (ribs/intercostal spaces/lines) and the sequence of actions in the scenario.
- Safe training before practice on patients, repeatability, and standardization for instructors.
Important: this is a training simulator for instructor courses/medics; the procedure is within the competence of trained personnel.
What is specifically practiced:
- Needle decompression / needle thoracotomy on the torso
- Access zones: 2nd intercostal space at the midclavicular line and 5th intercostal space at the midaxillary line
- Working with realistic skin and “rib” framework for proper sensation of landmarks
Equipment includes:
- Torso trainer
- Rib framework
- Replaceable soft realistic skin
- Replaceable pleural cavity module / “lung” (2-piece pleural chamber)
- Foot pump
- Soft transport bag
- Procedure needle not included
Who needs this:
- Instructors of tactical medicine / TECC / TCCC (as a separate “trauma chest” module in the course)
- Paramedics, emergency services, emergency departments
- Universities/colleges, simulation centers
- State Emergency Service/departmental training centers (mass casualties/trauma)
