Vascular Access - Chester Chest™

The New Advanced Arm part #VT-2386 has a dual lumen 5FR PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) exiting the basilic vein from the inner bicep area, which is currently the preferred placement. The basilic vein is slightly raised for easy identification. Posterior to the PICC insertion site is a recessed area for the placement of a peripheral port. (Optional port shown but not included - see part VT-417 to order). The base of the recessed area is made of soft material that permits the port to “float” when accessed. This area is covered with a removable tissue-like flap which, when placed over the port, provides the realistic feel of palpating and accessing. An additional feature of the new arm is a pre-positioned 20g IV catheter in the forearm. The New Advanced Arm has a greater degree of rotation and extension than our previous arm, just as you would experience on a patient when accessing the PICC or catheter sites can be used to practice cleansing, application of dressings and securement devices, fluid infusion and withdrawal. Chester Chest™ can be used in either an upright or supine position.

Female Urinary Catheterization Simulator

The Female Urinary Catheterization Simulator allows learners to perform bladder catheterization just as they would on a real patient. The normal feeling of resistance and pressure will be experienced as a lubricated catheter is passed through the urethra, past the sphincter, and into the bladder. When the catheter enters the bladder, artificial urine (colored water) will flow from the catheter as it would with a real patient. This simulator is the torso of a middle-aged woman with thighs abducted for proper position during catheterization. The external genitalia and perineum are molded in lifelike form. The labia minora can be spread apart naturally to reveal the clitoris, urethral opening, and vaginal introitus.

A Foley catheter can be used if extreme care is taken to inflate the cuff only when it is in the proper position. Just as in a real patient, the cuff must be completely deflated before the catheter is removed. Improper use of a Foley can result in damage to the simulator, just as when using a Foley catheter with a real patient.

Male Urinary Catheterization Simulator

The Male Urinary Catheterization Simulator allows learners to perform bladder catheterization just as they would on a real patient.

When the bladder is successfully entered, artificial urine (colored 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.

A Foley catheter can be used if extreme care is taken to inflate the cuff only when it is in the proper position. Just as in a real patient, the cuff must be completely deflated before the catheter is removed. Improper use of a Foley can result in damage to the simulator, just as when using a Foley catheter with a real patient.
