 SimJunior - Child 

A realistic, full-body simulator for paediatric emergencies, SimJunior represents a 6 year old boy that simulates a wide range of conditions from a healthy, talking child to an unresponsive, critical patient with no vital signs.

SimJunior allows students to focus on a broad range of paediatric skills in order to gain exposure and practical experience of life-threatening paediatric problems.

We also have the SimPad for the manikin, allowing greater scenario flexibility by allowing the instructor/facilitator to have greater immediate control over the manikin.

The range of features on this manikin includes:

 -   Simulated spontaneous breathing 
 -   Observable chest rise 
 -   Variable respiratory rates 
 -   Multiple upper airway sounds synchronised with breathing

 -   Multiple heart sounds synchronised with ECG 
 -   ECG rhythm monitoring (3 leads) 
 -   CPR compressions generate palpable carotid pulses 
 -   CPR compressions generate blood pressure waveform 
 -   CPR compressions generate ECG artifacts 
 -   Detection and logging of a series of compressions in the data log 
 -   IV access (right arm and hand) 
 -   Intraosseous access (right tibia) 
 -   Blood pressure measured manually by auscultation

 -   Patient voice (Pre-recorded sounds/Wireless microphone) 
 -   Interchangeable pupils

 Obstetrics Manikin 

The whole area of Obstetrics is a complicated and in-depth topic.

In order to facilitate appropriate practice of the stages of childbirth, our manikin has interchangeable, anatomically-correct dilation simulators.

This allows our students to gain a greater understanding of the stages that a delivering mother progresses through.

The manikin also features a simulated placenta and a neonate model, including an umbilical cord.

We couple this model with Maternity Kits, which ensures that our students get to practice delivery of a baby using the equipment that will generally be available to them on an ambulance.

 IV Training Arm - Adult

When it comes to medication administration, it is of utmost importance for current and future practitioners to be able to practice the safe and effective delivery of medications.

Given the highly specialised nature of IV (Intra-Venous) Injections, we ensure that our students are given ample opportunities to practice getting this skill right.

Our IV Injection trainer models are Full-Arm models, allowing multiple sites to be practiced.

These models feature:

 -   Surface layer designed to replicate skin 
 -   Fascia layer 
 -   Muscle layer 
 -   Realistic blood vessel sizes and locations 
 -   "Blood Supply" containers, allowing for appropriate flashback 

 

We chose the models that we use to ensure suitability for our students and to make sure that they can be suitability cleaned between uses.

We couple these models with a variety of medications, syringes, needles, preparation swabs and sharps disposal containers.

 IM Training Model

When it comes to medication administration, it is of utmost importance for current and future practitioners to be able to practice the safe and effective delivery of medications.

Given the highly specialised nature of IM (Intra-Muscular) Injections, we ensure that our students are given ample opportunities to practice getting this skill right.

Our IM Injection trainer models can be worn by students, so that injections are practiced in situ, as opposed to simply being practiced on table top models or on oranges.

These models feature:

 -   Surface layer designed to replicate skin 
 -   Fascia layer 
 -   Muscle layer 


We chose the models that we use to ensure suitability for our students and to make sure that they can be suitability cleaned between uses.

We couple these models with a variety of medications, syringes, needles, preparation swabs and sharps disposal containers.

 

 

 IO Training Leg - Infant

Our Infant Intraosseous Training Legs are designed to allow students practice the siting and establishment of IO Access in an infant patient.

The realism of the model allows for appropriate skills to be developed for "in the field" application.

The pad where the IO Access is established can be replaced, which ensures that students can get a fresh "patient" on each course, preventing the issue of students just skipping the landmarking process and just "going straight for the previous mark".

We couple these models with a variety of medications, syringes, needles, preparation swabs and sharps disposal containers.

 

 

Manual Handling

The safety of all personnel involved in treating patients is of paramount importance. As a result, we take our role as a Manual/Patient Handling Training Institution extremely seriously. This involves ensuring that we have a range of handling aids available so that we can make sure that our training courses are as comprehensive as possible.

 Lateral Transfer Board

We have two primary types of lateral transfer board that we use during training courses/sessions.

These boards are designed to be bridges between two surfaces and are low friction barriers between the patient and the surface that they are on/going to be on.

These boards represent the most common styles in use, as well as covering a range of patient weights.

Students get to see the difference between standard and bariatric versions of the boards.

 Pat-Slide  

We have two types of lateral transfer board that we use during training courses/sessions.

These slides are designed to be low friction barriers between the patient and the surface that they are on/going to be on.

Students get to see the difference between manoeuvres carried out with the slides and ones carried out without the slides.

 Slide Sheets

We stock a large selection of slide sheets for use during training courses/sessions.

These sheets are designed to be low friction barriers between the patient and the surface that they are on/going to be on.

This greatly reduces the risk of injury to the person carrying out the manual handling, by decreasing the effort required to carry out the manoeuvre.

 Handling Belts

We have a selection of Handling Belts, including a number of different sizes.

These belts are designed to be adjustable, so that each belt can cater for a large range of body shapes and weights.

The inside of the belt is designed to be a high friction surface, ensuring that the risk of the belt slipping on the patient is greatly reduced, if not totally eliminated.

The belt features grab handles, which allows the person carrying out the manoeuvres to maintain a firm palmer grip.

 Patient Hoist

As part of our Patient Handling/Moving People courses, we cover the use of Patient Hoists.

In order to facilitate this training, we have a patient hoist that allows students to practice the general procedures involved in moving a patient using a hoist.

 Spinal Model

When it comes to Manual Handling and Patient Handling training, it is vital that students understand the importance of a healthy spinal column and what can go wrong if proper back health is not maintained.

We use our spinal column model to show the variances in spinal vertebra anatomy by comparing the different sections of the spine.

The model also shows a prolapsed disc ("Slipped Disc"), so that students can see the difference between a healthy, functional disc and one that has prolapsed.
