• Representation of adult male thorax with arms raised
• Suitable for supine, sitting, or leaning forwards positions
• Bony and soft tissue landmarks: manubriosternal joint, clavicles, ribs, pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi
• Bilateral chest drain and needle decompression pads
• Internal ultrasound anatomy: diaphragmatic structures and collapsed lung
• Can give the impression of breathing under ultrasound when using the Advanced Pad
• Works with thoracic seals when using the Standard Pad
• Reservoirs can be filled with fluid or mock blood to represent pleural effusion
• Affordable replaceable pads:

Advanced Chest Drain Pads

• Ultrasoundable
• For use with liquids – e.g. effusion, or haemothorax
• Needle, guide-wire, dilator, and drain-tube can all be realistically inserted
• Guidewire insertions will self-seal allowing multiple uses
• For open/surgical techniques where effusion or haemothorax are required
• Open/surgical incisions will not self-seal
• Can be sutured
• Pleural layer, providing realistic give, or “pop”, on puncture with forceps or finger
• Improved respiratory swing
• Recommend usage of 12 FG catheter
• Cannot be used with adhesive dressings

• For open/surgical  techniques
• Can also be used for guide wire techniques where no fluid is required
• Not ultrasoundable
• Not suitable for use with liquids
• Tough skin for incision and suturing
• Foam chest wall for blunt dissection
• Pleural layer, providing realistic give, or “pop”, on puncture
• Can be used with adhesive dressings

• Needle insertion produces realistic “hiss” of air escape, or bubbles if saline-filled syringe is used
• Pad life prolonged by use of thinner gauge needles eg 21g
