Male Catheterization Trainer (Dark Skin Tone)
The Male Catheterization Trainer allows trainees to learn urinary catheterization techniques specific to the male anatomy. The trainer meets the guidelines for preventing CAUTI through teaching aseptic insertion techniques.
Augmented Reality is now part of the Catheterization range
The new ART Mats combine real world MRI and CT scan data, with the skills of talented medical artists and digital creators, to bring the internal anatomy of our trainers to life.
Within the L&T ART app’s digital environment, you can move around your task trainer and view various overlays, including: the musculature, organs and vessels, and skeletal structure. The interface allows you to move seamlessly between the layers, as well as view their cross sections.
Students are also able to view digital procedures in the AR environment to see how the procedure is done, and its impact on the patient’s anatomy.
Latest updates to the male catheterization simulator have improved realism of the anatomy and feel during procedures. This includes:
- Increased mobility of the penis, giving more realism when inserting the catheter
- A retractable and removable foreskin, to learn how to manage the foreskin during catheterization
- An updated urethra allowing for more realistic difficulty levels when threading the catheter
Overview
- NEW: Augmented Reality capabilities with the ART Mat
- 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 male 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
- Flaccid penis with a removable foreskin for realistic male catheterization
- Increased mobility of the penis gives a more accurate representation of inserting the catheter
Versatility
- Modules are removeable and easily interchangeable
- Module comes with removeable foreskins
- 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
