Nursing Skills Manikins

Adult Nursing Skills Manikins

Life/form® molding and modeling techniques have given KERi™ an unusually realistic appearance as a woman, or as a man when the wig is removed. Unique visual features reinforce the importance of inspecting patients and noting changes in their appearance. All joints provide maximum lifelike range of motion not found in other manikins. Life/form® simulations have been included to allow the practice of more than 35 patient care procedures. Perfect for all OBRA required training. Full three-year warranty.

 

Child/Pediatric Care Simulator

A sophisticated pediatric simulator of a 5-year-old for training in standard and advanced clinical procedures. The realistic face, body, and fully jointed elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles permit the student and teacher to simulate authentic nursing care and medical treatment of the young child. Features include: soft, lifelike facial skin; self-molded hair; eyes open and close in realistic eye sockets for ophthalmic procedures; fully articulated head and jaw with teeth and tongue; NG and otic exercises; bends 30° at waist; soft upper body skin over hard upper body for realistic feel; intramuscular injection sites in left deltoid and right upper thigh; TB test site; interchangeable male organ; tracheotomy opening; male and female catheterization; removable internal tanks; enema administration; and neck brace. Detachable at waist for easy storage.

Newborn Care Simulator

This newborn simulator looks just like a 0- to 8-week-old baby. The chubby face and body with beautifully detailed tiny, soft hands and feet make you want to hold and care for it. Features include: training arm and hand for intravenous access (also features radial and brachial arterial sites); external stoma sites with internal tanks; umbilical catheterization site with internal tank; temporal venous access sites with internal tank; soft and flexible facial skin; self-molded hair; realistic eyes; NG exercises to demonstrate tube feeding and gastric suction; simulated ear canal; tongue may be moved from side to side; soft arms and legs rotate within the torso body for lifelike feel and position; soft hands, feet, fingers, and toes; heel stick and finger prick technique; soft upper body skin over torso for “babylike” feel; bathing and bandaging activity; intramuscular injection site in upper thigh; TB test site; interchangeable male organ; urethral passage and bladder; male and female catheterization; removable internal tanks; enema administration; T-shirt and diapers; soft nylon carrying bag; and instruction manual.

Geriatric Nursing Skills Manikins

The Geri™ Nursing Skills Manikin is ideal for preparing students for working with real-life geriatric patients, since it features an elderly appearance with skin wrinkles and folds. No other manikin on the market is so realistic and true-to-life. When compared to similar manikins, it features the best and most lifelike range of motion; Geri™ moves like a person, allows realistic patient positioning, and features nonpinching joints. Life/form® simulations are added for realism. The overall appearance of the manikin is female, however, removal of the wig and attachment of the male genitals converts it for male catheterization and prostate examination simulations. Excellent for all levels of health care education… from nursing assistants to medical students. Ideal for all OBRA required training. Full three-year warranty.

Various Nursing Skills

Bandaging

A readily available patient with 14 surgical wounds including a Mid-Sternal Split with 2 simulated drains, a Sacral Decubitus Ulcer – Stage 2, and a Leg Amputation Stump. The skin has also been reformulated so it is drier, allowing the bandages to adhere better. Wound closures feature surgical staples for the Mid-Sternal Split, Thoracotomy, Nephrectomy, Laparotomy, Abdominal Hysterectomy, and Amputation Stump. Staples and sutures cannot be removed.

Blood Pressure

PDA technology brings you the newest training device for teaching blood pressure skills. This stand-alone unit incorporates sphygmomanometer placement, palpation of the radial pulse, variable systolic and diastolic pressures from 0-300 mm Hg in two mm increments, variable amplitude of sound heard at the antecubital site, sound jack for group listening, auscultatory gap setting, and heart rate settings. This battery operated trainer can be plugged into 110V AC to save batteries and comes with the adapter and jack. The PDA is also included, along with the programming and a BP cuff.

Male & Female Catheterization

With the Life/form® Male Catheterization Simulator, catheterization can be practiced just as on a real patient. A lubricated catheter can be inserted in the urethral orifice, passed through the urethra, and into the bladder. When the bladder is successfully entered, artificial urine (water) will flow from the catheter.
The student will feel the normal restrictions caused by the mucosal folds, bulbous urethra, and the internal urethral sphincter, just prior to entrance into the bladder. The experience teaches proper positioning and movement of the penis to allow the catheter to pass easily with a minimum of discomfort to the patient.

Dialysis

Designed to introduce patients, students, and nurses to the essentials of CAPD procedures and care. The realistic Life/form® torso offers a lifelike method to demonstrate and practice peritoneal dialysis. Success with CAPD is dependent on the patient’s following dialysis procedures with extreme care. This Life/form® simulator gives the patient an opportunity to gain the confidence necessary for prolonged success with CAPD. Complete with indwelling Tenckhoff catheter in a hard storage case. Dialysis materials not included.

Ear Examination

The Ear Examination Simulator makes it possible to practice examination of the human ear. Specially molded to exactly simulate external and internal physical appearance and dimensions, the plug-in removable ears are easily changed. Life-size full-color prints on film, embedded at the tympanic membrane, provide the same realistic views experienced with a live patient.

Foot Care

Molded from a real foot for a true-life experience when assessing the various wounds. Twenty different conditions are presented so you can see and understand how they are different. Great care has been taken to color each wound just as you would see it on a patient. Once the different etiologies are understood, you can discuss and devise treatment plans that will deliver optimized patient care.

Injection

The Life/form® Spinal Injection Simulator is a valuable training and teaching aid allowing realistic demonstration and practice of all spinal injections. Spinal injection techniques include: spinal anesthesia, spinal tap, epidural analgesia, caudal analgesia, sacral nerve block, and lumbar sympathetic block. Excellent simulation qualities, in addition to an easy-to-change vertebral column and replaceable skin, make this Life/form® product the very best available.

Ostomy Care

Designed to help introduce the essentials of ostomy care to patients and students, this unit is ideal for demonstration and practice for several procedures. The anatomy of both a colostomy and ileostomy are carefully reproduced to provide lifelike functions and appearance. Dilation of the stomas can be demonstrated and practiced, along with application of postoperative and permanent ostomy bags. The colostomy can actually be irrigated.

Physical Assessment

Here’s an indispensable model for both students and professionals. Teach techniques of prostate examination with Nasco’s Life/form® Prostate Examination Simulator. Now every student can learn to detect beginning stages of prostate cancer and increase chances of patient survival.

Suture & Stapling

Made with a soft vinyl skin over a core of stitchable foam to provide a lifelike suturing experience for students or a realistic suturing demonstration by an instructor. Realistic skin texture with wrinkles, pores, and visible fingerprints. Soft and pliable for easy sewing, the skin is tough enough that sutures will not pull out when tightened. The unit is provided with three “wounds.” These “wounds” can be sutured repeatedly until the skin around them is finally worn out; then, new “wounds” can be cut. Although disposable, the arm provides hundreds of suturing experiences before wearing out. Conservatively, over one hundred cuts can be made on the trainer and each of these cuts can be sutured several times. Comes complete with a starter package of sutures and instruction booklet.

Tracheostomy

Ideal for teaching patients and caregivers the skills they will need to perform at home. Includes oral and nasal passages, the pharynx, epiglottis, trachea, esophagus, tracheostomy site, and cricoid cartilage. The mouth and jaw are flexible to allow oral suctioning. The trachea branches into the left and right bronchial trees. Students can practice suctioning techniques, proper cuff inflation, dressing changes, and other techniques. Cleansing and maintenance of the external tracheal site can be performed just as on an actual patient. The adult manikin comes with one tracheostomy tube, instruction guide, and hard carrying case.

Wound Care

Made with a flexible, life-like material that permits the application and easy removal of dressings, without leaving an adhesive residue. Model is molded from an actual 74-year-old patient so it looks and feels like the real thing. Displays the following pressure ulcers: Stage 1; Stage II; Stage III with undermining, tunneling, subcutaneous fat, and slough; Stage IV with exposed bones, undermining, tunneling, subcutaneous fat, eschar, and slough. Also shown are a suspected Deep Tissue Injury, unstageable full eschar/slough wound, and 5-1/2" dehisced wound. The Stage III and Stage IV are positioned so that a “bridging” dressing for use with a vacuum assisted closure and negative pressure wound therapy devices can be demonstrated and practiced. You are able to demonstrate and practice wound cleansing, classification, staging, and assessment, as well as the measurement of wound length, depth, undermining, and tunneling. The positioning of the wounds permits multiple dressings to be demonstrated at the same time.
