Product overview
This chest tube manikin is designed specifically to teach the theory, anatomy and skills needed to manage pre-hospital chest trauma as well as on-going chest tube maintenance.
The right side of the manikin has two cut-away viewing areas to provide awareness of the anatomical relationships between the skin surface, musculature, ribs and lungs. The left side has a pressurised tension pneumothorax site to relieve air that has accumulated within the pleural space and is restricting lung inflation.
There is also a site where chest tubes may be surgically placed to treat pleural effusion by draining fluids from the pleural space. The fluid colour, volume and viscosity is controlled by the instructor.
