Body-in-a-Box Port Skills Trainer
Teach and Practice Correct Methods for Palpating and Accessing IVADs
- Curved contour on top is similar to patient contours and encourages the importance of transducer positioning
- Includes a real port to simulate accessing normal, "tipping", "wandering", and deeply placed IVAD placement
- Successful access is confirmed by a blood return from the trainer's blood reservoir
- Tissue flap over the port has two thicknesses: 1/4" and 1/2"
- Skin flap is made with Dermalike II™, which is tear and stain resistant
- Underlying soft tissue block permits the port to "float" when palpating through the skin flap
- Compact, lightweight trainer is easy to set up and store
