Abdominal Examination Trainer (Light Skin Tone)
Limbs & Things’ Abdominal Examination Trainer represents an anatomically accurate adult male torso featuring abdomen, pelvis and lower part of thorax along with key bony landmarks.
The Abdominal Examination Trainer is ideal for OSCE preparation and assessment, as our torso model enables trainees to practise the required techniques of palpation, auscultation and percussion elements of abdominal, or gastrointestinal (GI) examination.
The trainer comes with interchangeable pathological organs and tissue masses, including a variety of livers, spleens, abdominal aortas and various masses, that can all be quickly inserted on to the abdominal organ locator. Gaseous distension and ascites can also be simulated, providing the correct feel during symptom-based simulation.
The Abdominal Examination Trainer is also equipped with a built-in MP3 and has a memory stick with 3 pre-recorded audio sounds which are played at various locations in the abdomen and heard during auscultation with a stethoscope.
Overview
- Trainer or Simulated Patient can vary the respiratory movement of liver and spleen
- Built in MP3 with 3 pre-recorded audio sounds on a memory stick that can be heard at various locations in the abdomen during auscultation with a stethoscope.
- Volume of bowel sounds can be adjusted, to extend the learning experience and hone trainees’ auscultation skills.
- The distension set allows for realistic checking for ascites using percussion, shifting dullness or fluid thrill technique, and simulation of bowel obstruction on percussion and auscultation
- The pulse bulb allows simulation of normal and aneurysmal aortic pulse
Realism
- Contains both normal and abnormal pathologies of organs that react realistically under palpation and respond appropriately to percussion
- Lifelike quality of abdominal skin accommodates for gaseous distension and ascites simulation
- Realistic ballottement of enlarged kidney
Versatility
- Removable abdominal skin allows for quick and easy changeover of organs during training
- Suitable for both benchtop use and hybrid use with a Simulated Patient
- Model can be rolled onto its side for examination of ascites and shifting dullness
- Can be powered using AA batteries or by mains power cable.
Cleaning

What skills can be learnt with the Abdominal Examination Trainer?
The Limbs & Things Abdominal Examination Trainer is ideal for OSCE preparation and assessment, and helps students gain key skills such as:
- Identification of ascites, specifically shifting dullness and fluid thrill
- Identification of gaseous distension and bowel obstruction
- Ballottement of kidneys
- Familiarity with the abdominal regions and underlying anatomy
What scenarios can be set up on the abdominal examination simulator?
Scenarios include:
- Carcinoma or mass in the left iliac fossa
- Liver metastasis
- Lymphoma
- Aortic aneurysm
- Acute urinary retention
- Ovarian cyst
- Enlarged kidneys
How is the Abdominal Examination Trainer powered?
The trainer is run by a mains power cable, however, you can use 4 AA batteries if power is unavailable allowing it to be used in a range of environments.
Can additional sounds be added to the Abdominal Examination Trainer’s MP3 Player?
Yes, on the MP3 player there is an SD slot that can be used to add additional sounds which can be obtained online or recorded to increase variety and realism. The Pre-set options include normal and abnormal bowel sounds and aortic bruits.
Please note: an SD card is not supplied with this trainer.
What is the fluid within the Ascites Bag of the abdominal trainer?
