The Suprapubic Insertion Unit can be used independently or combined with another catheterization trainer for a real to life simulation. This module allows for the practice of the surgical procedure of suprapubic catheterization and is made of echolucent silicone for ultrasound guided procedures.
What are the features of the suprapubic catheterization simulator?
Ultrasound bladder scanning – allows for ultrasound identification of urine present in the bladder, reducing risks associated with CaUTI
Ultrasound guided Suprapubic Catheterization – allows for advanced procedure training in Urology
Allows for the practice of Blind Suprapubic Catheterization
Overview
More robust design means longer lasting models, keeping on-going costs lower
Ability to view catheter path when modules are used outside of the Pelvic Shell
Improved Water System
Softer, more realistic anatomy
Improved internal anatomy to allow for smoother insertion of catheter into the bladder
Realism
Anatomically accurate bladder
New ultrasound bladder scanning aides in identification of urine in the bladder, reducing risks associated with CaUTI
Ultrasound guided catheterization allows for more advanced Urology training
Versatility
Modules are interchangeable, and fit with the Male and Female Urinary Catheterisation models
Ability to view the path of the catheter during procedures
Non-drip valve
Cleaning
Drain all water from the product
Remove all catheters from the trainer
Clean product surface with soft, damp cloth and mild detergent
Allow trainer to dry completely before storing
Safety
Components of the trainer are latex free
Always deflate the balloon before removing a catheter
Simulated Patient
Can be used with a standardised patient to help improve communication skills
Anatomy
Pubic bone
