Limbs & Things Chest Drain & Decompression Trainer 60230

Used Limbs & Things Chest Drain & Needle Decompression Trainer (Model 60230) – Trauma Simulation for ATLS V10 Training

Acquire the renowned Limbs & Things Chest Drain & Needle Decompression Trainer (Model 60230), the definitive high-fidelity simulator for practicing life-saving thoracic trauma procedures. This unit, approved for use on ATLS V10 courses, is an essential educational tool for medical professionals, postgraduate trainees, and emergency medicine departments looking to deliver realistic, hands-on skills training.

Core Clinical Skills Training

This anatomically accurate adult male torso simulator is designed to facilitate training in a comprehensive range of critical procedures, including:

• Needle Decompression/Thoracostomy for tension pneumothorax at the 2nd, 4th, and 5th intercostal spaces. Correct technique is validated by a realistic “hiss” of air release.
• Surgical and Guide-Wire Assisted Thoracostomy: Practice open cut-down chest drain insertion, including recognition of correct position, surgical incision, blunt dissection, and suturing of the tube to the chest wall.
• Ultrasound-Guided Chest Tube Insertion (Seldinger Technique): The Advanced Chest Drain Pads and internal anatomy allow for the practice of using ultrasound to guide needle placement and recognize internal structures.
• Management of Pleural Effusion: Internal reservoirs can be filled with fluid or mock blood to simulate effusions or hemothorax scenarios.

High-Fidelity Features

The trainer offers unparalleled realism through key components:

• Advanced and Standard Chest Drain Pads: Allows for versatility in training, from simple suturing techniques to complex ultrasound-guided procedures. The Standard Pads include a “pleural layer” for a realistic “pop” sensation upon puncture.
• Anatomically Correct Torso: Features realistic landmarks, including the manubriosternal joint, clavicles, and ribs, crucial for accurate procedure location.
• Respiratory Swing Simulation: The system can be used with a pump to simulate movement within the liquid of the chest cavity during ultrasound procedures.

Condition and Disclosure

This Limbs & Things 60230 Trainer is a used unit but remains in excellent working condition, offering significant cost savings over a new model. Please note the following cosmetic and usage disclosures, which do not affect core functionality:

• Pads: One side of the trainer includes pads that show minor cuts from previous surgical practice, reflecting its history as a valuable training tool. Replacement pads are readily available from the manufacturer.
• Accessories: The original carrying case has a small, cosmetic hole.

All internal mechanisms, including the pumps and reservoirs for air and fluid, are confirmed to be fully functional. This is a rare opportunity to secure this essential trauma simulator at a reduced price.
