Regional Anesthesia Trainer with SmarTissue

Simulab's Regional Anesthesia Trainer with SmarTissue is the only nerve block training solution that provides instructors and users a feedback mechanism to gain procedural accuracy and enhance the training experience during interscalene and supraclavicular nerve block skill development.

This trainer allows ultrasound practice with visualization of the most clinically relevant brachial plexus anatomy and needle tip to ensure proper manipulation, placement, and proximity to the nerves.

What's included:

• SmarTissue Upper Body Form
• Regional Anesthesia Replaceable SmarTissue
• SmarTissue Software
• Universal Needle Adaptor
• Arterial Pulse Hand Pump
• Carrying Case
• User Guide
• Laptop not included

Features:

• Includes body form with Regional Anesthesia Replaceable SmarTissue, nerve stimulator electronics, and SmarTissue software (PC compatible*)
• Ultrasound compatible for guidance during needle sticks and catheter placement
• Anatomically correct human torso with landmarks for enhanced realism
• Distinct ''pop'' is visualized and palpated when the needle enters into the neural sheath
• SmarTissue software installed on a PC interprets unique signals, illuminating an amber circle if the needle is proximal to the nerve and a red dot if the needle is inserted into the nerve
• Optional articulating head increases realism
• Includes a simulated arterial pulse
• Can be injected with simulated anesthesia, which is naturally expelled for repeated use.

Skills:

• Psychomotor skills associated with targeting the nerves of the brachial plexus for peripheral nerve block regional anesthesia
• Needle insertion using Interscalene and/or Supraclavicular approaches
• Ultrasound imaging skills
• Transducer and needle manipulation and movement
• Visualize needle tip positioning, proximity, and placement verification
• Recognition of nerve bundles, arteries, veins, and muscular anatomy
• Landmarks
  • Sternocleidomastoid muscle
  • Clavicle
  • Interscalene groove
  • Internal jugular and carotid artery (which pulses)
  • Anterior and middle scalene muscle
  • Brachial plexus
