Chest Drain & Needle Decompression Trainer

Made in the UK

  • 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
Standard Chest Drain Pads
  • 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 Decompression Pads
  • 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
