The Ultrasound Guided Thoracentesis Simulator facilitates training for puncture and injection training under ultrasound guidance.
The two puncture units, mid-scapular line access and mid-axially line access, both include the ribs, soft tissue, pleura, lung and diaphragm. The ribs can be palpated from the surface to determine site for needle insertion. Volume of fluids can be controlled.
Overview
