Female Catheterization Trainer (Light Skin Tone)
The Female Catheterization Trainer allows trainees to learn urinary catheterization techniques, as well as care of a pre-inserted suprapubic catheter via the pre-ported bung. The feel of the catheter passing along the urethra into the bladder corresponds closely to real life.
Using expert feedback from customers and evaluators, Limbs & Things updated the Female Catheterization to include:
- Increased realism of the female anatomy
- A softer labia that allows for realistic parting using aseptic no touch technique
- A less prominent meatus to give trainees a more accurate simulation
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 female anatomy
- Improved internal anatomy to allow for smoother insertion of catheter into the bladder
Realism
- Supple urethra & resistant sphincter providing realistic response
- Anatomically accurate bladder
- Softer labia to practise parting using aseptic no touch technique
- Meatus is less obvious than previous simulator, allowing for truer to life experience when performing female catheterization
- Increased realism of anatomy, inclusion of a vaginal vault allows for potential insertion of catheter into the incorrect location
Versatility
- Modules are removeable and easily interchangeable
- Ability to view the path of the catheter during procedures
- Non-drip valve
- Reusable double-sleeve catheter packaging is supplied for teaching aseptic technique
- Syringe supplied with water-based lubricant to simulate proprietary local anaesthetic gel
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
- Foley Catheter supplied is made of silicone coated latex
- Use supplied Milton Antifungal agent to sterilize water
- Always deflate the balloon before removing a catheter
- Only use mock gel that’s supplied with the catheterization simulator
- Use lubricant when inserting the catheter
Simulated Patient
- Can be used with a standardised patient to help improve communication skills
Anatomy
