TruNerve Block | Ultrasound-guided Nerve Blocks

This 3-in-1 ultrasound model provides hands-on training in:

• Ultrasound-guided nerve blocks with the ability to verify needle tip location
• Ultrasound IV insertion with embedded vessels & realistic blood flashback
• Ultrasound bone imaging featuring a fractured bone structure

Effective training in ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia

Trainee anaesthetists develop, practice and maintain the skills necessary to use ultrasound for guiding regional anaesthesia and vascular access procedures. Simulated anaesthetic fluid can be injected around the nerve.

Realistic. Durable. Easy to set up.

TruNerve Block is ideal for emergency medicine, radiology, surgical training programs, ultrasound training programs, simulation centres, surgical skills centres, medical education facilities, and ultrasound manufacturers for ultrasound education and demonstrations.

Ultrasound Model Features

• Contains epidermal layer, two simulated vessels (4mm), a nerve bundle (with surrounding artery and vein), a fractured bone & fascia layers
• Nerve bundle allows fluid entry & withdrawal for anaesthesia fluid administration
• Positive fluid flow when vessels are accurately accessed
• Constant blood flow for realistic flashback
• Colour Doppler flow imaging
• 1000+ needle incisions with self-healing/regeneration of the TruUltra material
• Needle tracks disappear with very minimal damage to the material
• Longitudinal and transverse anatomical viewing options
• Realistic needle tip identification and artefact
• Use with any ultrasound imaging system with an appropriate transducer probe (recommend high-frequency linear array transducer 5-12 MHz)
• Weight: 1.8Kg (4 lb) [Ultrasound insert = 800g (1.8lb) and product plinth = 1Kg (2.2lb)]
• Dims: 350mm x 150mm X 110mm (Ultrasound insert -160mm x 140mm x 40mm)

Medical Procedure Training

• Ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia
• Ultrasound-guided vascular access
• IV cannulation (venipuncture and vein cannulation)
• Injection of simulated anaesthetics with visual air & fluid retention possible
• Injection of fluid around the nerve
• Identification of arterial and venous blood flow
• Fractured bone identification
• Ultrasound education & machine demonstrations (ideal for ultrasound manufacturers)
