Clean Bleed® Mat – Blood and Fluid Loss Simulator
The brand NEW Clean Bleed® Mat has been designed to support all simulation scenarios. This product can be used with any brand of trainer where external blood or fluid loss is a key indicator and measure of the emergency being simulated.
Easily set up in as little as 2 minutes, the patented Clean Bleed® Mat allows for a mess-free blood loss simulation. Accurately mimic a range of blood loss rates for a wide variety of clinical scenarios, including: post-partum haemorrhaging, post-operative wounds, gunshot trauma and arterial bleeds. With adjustable flow capability, realistic scenarios can be created based on the actions of the trainee.
The Clean Bleed® Mat can be used in conjunction with any brand task trainers, full body manikins, or simulated patients, as well as being suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. For ease of use, this product comes with two lengths of tubing to allow for the fluid reservoir and pump to be placed further away from the training area.
The internal mat can be removed, allowing trainees to weigh the blood or fluid loss as they would in a clinical setting. Our mats are specifically designed to allow easy clean up, including a 2-way pump system that ensures the fluid can be pumped back into the reservoir for reuse. This means a cost effective, mess-free way of using blood flow to aid in diagnosis.
The blood used with this product now contains a new preservative which is approved for use by EU cosmetic regulations which means that, once diluted, it is safe for extended skin contact.
We still recommend the use of gloves, as the pigments may stain skin and clothes.
Overview
- Controllable flow rates of between 50ml and 600ml per minute for realistic blood loss simulation
- Blood loss can be measured either visually, or by weighing
- Simple and easy set up takes just 2 minutes
- Provides mess-free blood loss simulation training
- Suitable for use with simulated patients, task trainers and full body manikins
- Quick release bag allows trainees to replace the bag quickly, as they would in a real-life scenario
- Absorbent pad behaves as an inco pad would
- Housed in a carry bag
Realism
- Unique sealed blood flow, heightens the realism for simulated scenarios
- Create high flow examples, such as: vaginal trauma (including post-partum haemorrhage or meconium fluid); abdominal, chest and neck trauma; loss of limb and post-operative bleeds
- Create low flow examples, such as: head or peripheral trauma; post-operative bleeds; meconium fluid
Versatility
- The Clean Bleed Mat can be used in conjunction with simulated patients, task trainers or full-body manikins
- Can be used to simulate a range of fluids
- Portable and durable for use in both indoors and outdoors
- Bag allows for the use of standard sized inco pads (60cm x 90cm)
Safety
- This product is latex free

WHAT PROCEDURES CAN THE CLEAN BLEED® MAT BE USED TO DEMONSTRATE?
Any scenario or clinical procedure where the external blood flow or blood (or any other fluid) is a critical signal to act and intervene. For example, low flow bleeds from head or peripheral trauma to high flow bleeds such post-partum haemorrhages and post-operative bleeds.
____________________________________
Will the bag hold up under a variety of clinical scenarios?
The Clean Bleed® bag is produced using a durable, tear resistant material. This allows it to be used on or under medical training equipment, as well as being knelt or stood on by trainees when they perform examinations.
____________________________________
CAN YOU USE OTHER BLOOD?
Yes, but we highly recommend using Limbs & Things blood as it provides the most realistic flow characteristics and optimum pump performance. Other brands may also cause staining.
____________________________________
HOW CAN I USE THIS IF THE EDUCATOR IS NOT IN THE ROOM FOR THE SIMULATION?
Using smart plugs educators can activate the pump system remotely.
____________________________________
CAN YOU USE THIS TO SIMULATE AN INCONTINENT PATIENT?
Yes, the fluid in the blood reservoir can be substituted with simulated urine to simulate incontinence.
____________________________________
CAN WE USE CHUX/INCO PADS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CLEAN BLEED ® MAT?
We recommend that you use the Limbs & Things pads as they allow for a more even flow of fluids and can be used multiple times. However, if you have a supply of the standard Chux/Inco pads you will be able to use them with this product.
____________________________________
WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO USE/SET-UP THE MAT?
For best results, lay the mat on a flat surface, if it its uneven the blood can pool at the bottom and not spread evenly.
____________________________________
WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO USE THE MAT WITH A SIMULATED PATIENT?
The best way to use the mat with a simulated patient is to position the mat so that the end connected to the pump is underneath the simulated patient, but they are not applying pressure to the tube that could block the flow.
____________________________________
HOW FAST CAN YOU SWITCH OUT T0 A CLEAN MAT IF WE SWITCH GROUPS QUICKLY?
The mats can be replaced in around 2 minutes or for an even faster switchover the entire bag and mat can be swapped thanks to the quick-release connectors. Extra bags are available here.
