A simulation of a gravid abdomen for learning percutaneous umbilical blood sampling (cordocentesis).
- Familiarization and use of ultrasound equipment
- Identification of ultrasound calling signals
- Recognition of placental/fetal cord
- Needle insertion and placement under ultrasound
- Withdrawal of fetal blood
- Excellent image and realism used with any ultrasound equipment
- Contains a fetal cord, filled with mock blood, suspended in gel (does not include foetus)
- Includes 2 placentas, one in the anterior and the other in posterior aspect, enabling both direct and transplacental approaches to the cord
- The mock blood in the fetal cord can be replenished
- Can be used for needle insertion and placement for amniocentesis training, however no fluid can be withdrawn from the amniotic sac
- Self-sealing abdomen and cord can be pierced repeatedly providing a durable, long-lasting and cost effective model
- 1 Cordocentesis base
- 1 Cordocentesis Abdomen 60204
- 1 bottle of Mock Blood 00220
