Erler Zimmer CVC Cannulation Simulator III

Erler Zimmer CVC cannulation simulator III in detail

The VC cannulation simulator III gives you the opportunity to practise various skills when inserting a CVC. This includes needle insertion, catheterisation and the Seldinger technique. The pad offers continuous practice opportunities for a variety of skills, from locating the puncture site to inserting the catheter. Both puncture with anatomical landmarks and ultrasound-assisted catheterisation are possible on the puncture pad.

Features:

• Repeated cannulation: The improved, friction-free fabric of the puncture pad enables the Seldinger technique and repeated insertion and removal of the catheter with only minimal marks on the pad surface.
• Both landmark and ultrasound-assisted puncture possible: Thanks to the anatomically correct structure, you can perform puncture using both landmarks and ultrasound.
• Simulation of mechanical complications such as arterial puncture or pneumothorax possible.
• New material: The human-like tissue material of the puncture pad enables a realistic feel when inserting the catheter.
• Realistic collapse of the veins: The vein collapses under the pressure of the ultrasound probe.

The puncture pad contains the following anatomical structures:

• V. jugularis interna & A. carotis
• V. subclavia and A. subclavian
• Superior vena cava
• Ribs
• Sternum
• Lungs

Trainable skills include:

• Ultrasound-assisted CVC placement
• Landmark-based CVC placement
• Ultrasound-assisted venous access
• Avoidance of mechanical complications.

Thanks to its innovative material, the pad offers an unrivalled realism and haptic experience as well as excellent ultrasound capability. However, due to this special material, the pad has a limited shelf life once the airtight packaging has been opened.
