1 Suction training model
With this model in life size nasal and oral suctioning techniques can be practiced.
The model has a tracheal opening for tube insertion and intrabronchial suction
training. The left side of the face can be removed to control tube position. The model
comes with artificial sputum which can be removed realistically. Additionally the
model has an oesophagus and allows placement of gastric feeding probes. The model
is also very good for teaching the anatomy. Supplied with transport bag.

2 Tracheostomy management simulator
This model can be used to practice the procedures carried out for tracheostomy
patients in the fields of nursing and caregiving when replacing cannulas or
performing suction through a cannula. The model can be divided into two halves
and the trachea section is transparent, allowing confirmation of the state of cannula
insertion and the position of the suction catheter in the cannula during suction. In
addition, with the specially provided cannula attached, a ventilator can be operated
by connection a test lung (simulated lung) to the model.
Features
n Allows the user to practice the procedures for replacing cannulas.
n As the trachea section is transparent, the state of inflation of the cuff can be
observed, and by using the specially provided cannula, the approximate optimum
pressure can be confirmed. (Because the posterior wall of the trachea is soft,
the user can feel the compression of the trachea that results when the cuff is
overinflated.)
n The transparent trachea facilitates explanation of how the suction catheter
should be positioned, and of how to perform suction using the upper part of the
cuff. (The above mentioned practicing of suction procedures can be performed 2
using the simulated sputum.)
n The soft neck surface skin allows the user to feel the thyroid cartilage through
the surface skin.
n The detachable trachea section facilitates explanation of the areas where
granulation tends to develop.
n A ventilator can be operated by attaching the specially provided cannula and
connecting a test lung, allowing confirmation of the alarm tone generated when
air leakage occurs.
