Trauma Man Surgical Trainer

Producer: Simulab Corporation

This is an anatomical human body form designed for students to practice several of the surgical procedures taught in surgical skills training. It is the only human patient simulator certified for use by the American College of Surgeons in the ATLS course. It consists of simulated human tissue structure made of an elastomeric composition designed specifically for surgical dissection, and allows the practice of surgical skills in at least three areas:
• Abdomen. Allows the practice of diagnostic peritoneal lavage. For this procedure, the Trauma Man Surgical Trainer features a simulated tissue structure including a skin layer, a subcutaneous fat layer, an anterior rectus sheath layer, a muscle layer, a posterior rectus sheath layer, an extraperitoneal layer, and a peritoneum layer. Underlying the tissue structure, the trainer includes simulated abdominal organs within an abdominal cavity. The organs and cavity can be filled with simulated bodily fluids (e.g. blood) to lend more realism to the practice procedure.
• Chest. Chest tube insertion and pericardiocentesis are procedures which can be performed on the trainer for this area. In addition to the simulated tissue structure on the exterior of the chest, the trainer includes additional tissue structure in the form of a layer of simulated tissue to mimic the intercostal muscle and the parietal pleura. To be more life-like, the trainer also includes airflow inside the pleura for a realistic response during a procedure plus inflatable lungs to simulate breathing, and ribs. For pericardiocentesis, a sternum, ribs, a heart and additional pericardium tissue structure are included. The heart and pericardium can be filled with simulated bodily fluids to mimic the real life procedure.
• Neck. Cricothyroidotomy is a procedure which can be performed on this part of the trainer. In addition to the simulated human tissue structure on the exterior of the neck, the trainer includes a simulated cricoid cartilage, thyroid cartilage, and cricothyroid ligament in this area. To be more life-like, the trainer also includes airflow in the trachea for a realistic response during a practice procedure.
