Trainer or Simulated Patient can vary respiratory movement of liver and spleen by the turn of a wheel
Integral amplifier and surface mounted MP3 player allow training in auscultation of normal and high-pitched or obstructed bowel sounds, renal and aortic bruits - in variable locations
Volume of bowel sounds can be adjusted and MP3 player allows for additional sounds to be loaded
Distension set allows for the following: realistic checking for ascites using percussion, shifting dullness or fluid thrill technique and simulation of bowel obstruction on percussion and auscultation
Pulse bulb allows simulation of normal and aneurysmal aortic pulse
REALISM
Organs feel realistic on palpation and respond appropriately to percussion
Lifelike quality of abdominal skin accommodates stretching for gaseous distension and ascites simulation
Realistic ballottement of enlarged kidney
VERSATILITY
Abdominal skin is simple to remove, allowing quick and easy changeover of organs
Suitable for both bench top use and hybrid use with Simulated Patient
Model can be rolled onto side for examination of ascites and shifting dullness
CLEANING
Skin surface is washable using soap and water
SAFETY
Latex free
Weight of model is within male and female health and safety limits for lifting to chest height
