Simulation Phantoms
Leg Ultrasound Training Model
This phantom is composed of a block replicating the shape of the upper thigh. The block incorporates a cavity, which can be filled with water to replicate the femoral vein/artery bifurcation observable the inguinal triangle. This block can be submerged in water and punctured with a needle to train for ultrasound-guided femoral vein/artery cannulation for catheter access. Needle marks heal for repeated use.
Material: Ultrasound-compatible rubber.
Storage: Store dry in a sealed glass/plastic container away from sunlight. Do not store above 25°C or below 0°C.
Dimensions: 150mm x 110mm x 60mm
