Life/form® Heart Catheterization Simulator

The Life/form® Heart Catheterization Simulator is used to train students in the techniques of performing central venous catheterization and Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN).

All appropriate landmarks are palpable for realistic identification of insertion sites. Synthetic skin may be removed from shoulder to reveal dissected musculature and location of veins, arteries, and other landmarks.

With the skin in place, you can insert the needle introducer. The tactile sensation is dramatically realistic. Artificial blood is connected to provide confirmation of proper needle location when “blood” flows from needle — just like the real thing! Venous catheters can be snaked into place once the introducer is properly inserted. Use of a Swan-Ganz catheter is possible.

Students can also practice proper care of the puncture site, parenteral administration of fluids, measurement of central venous pressure, and bandaging techniques with no fear of infection or other harm to a patient.

In emergency medical training programs, practice delivery of large volumes of fluids in trauma. Inject for swift action as required for cardiac life support procedures.
