Description
This small trainer provides critical anatomic landmarks for training care givers in the use of the FAST . Previous training was done utilizing Pyng Medical’s SIM-STERN materials without benefit of realistic anatomic landmarks or employing the SIM-IO trainer on fellow-students (using hook-and-loop-tipped simulated catheter and SIM-IO training target patch) but not experiencing the real forces involved in placing the FAST catheter.
With this very transportable trainer, students will be able to palpate the suprasternal notch for placement of the target patch, place a target patch on the trainer, and actually insert the FAST infusion catheter using the FAST demonstrator. A replaceable disk lies under the simulator skin surface and is slightly rotated after each insertion, making up to 100 FAST insertions per disk possible. If your service utilizes the FAST sternal intraosseous device or you operate a training centre that teaches the use of adult intraosseous infusions, this simulator is a must.
