Bronchoscopy Model ‘Broncho Boy’

This model was designed initially to facilitate learning transoral and transnasal flexible fibre optic bronchoscopy. It may, however, be used for intubation with the rigid bronchoscope. A specially developed casting process has enabled exact reproduction of internal structures and contours of mucous membranes in nasal passages, pharynx and tracheobronchial system. Anatomical landmarks aid the trainee bronchoscopist in mastering problems of endoscopic orientation. For those experienced with the rigid bronchoscope and wishing to learn flexible endoscopy, practising with the ‘Broncho Boy’ model will greatly ease the change. The following characteristics typify this unique training model: integrated nasopharynx with tracheobronchial tree; extreme durability with softness and pliability due to the special synthetic substance used in moulds (with no risk of damage to the endoscope); removable sternum, enabling the trainee to check the position of the endoscope (the tracheobronchial tree allows penetration of light from tip of bronchoscope). It comprises the following components: ‘Broncho Boy’ model (complete model with nasopharynx and tracheobronchial tree with head and thorax), aluminium transport and storage suitcase, adjustable mounting base, lubricant spray, and instructions for use. H25 cm, W71 cm, D42 cm, Wt 14.8 kg.
