Midscapular Thoracentesis Ultrasound Training Model

Specialized ultrasound-guided thoracentesis training for pleural effusion management

SKU: BPTT2-1005 Category:

  • Mid-scapular approach with complete thoracic anatomy

  • Self-healing tissue with positive fluid flow feedback

  • Realistic pleural effusions with easy refill capability

  • Universal ultrasound compatibility with any system


Features

Complete Thoracic Anatomy

Train on realistic chest wall tissue, 6th-9th ribs and intercostal spaces, pleural cavity with lung and atelectatic lung, diaphragm, and superior spleen for comprehensive anatomical recognition.

Positive Fluid Flow Feedback

Immediate confirmation when pleural effusions are accurately accessed, providing learners with realistic procedural validation and confidence building.

Self-Healing Durability

Blue Phantom’s patented ultra-durable tissue withstands repeated punctures with 18-21 gauge needles, dramatically reducing replacement costs and maintenance requirements.

Superior Ultrasound Imaging

Simulated tissue matches acoustic characteristics of real human tissue, delivering clinical-quality imaging without system adjustments or unrealistic settings.

Flexible Fluid Management

Easy refill using quick-fill luer lock ports or connect to I.V. reservoir for continuous fluid delivery during extended training sessions.

Anatomical Structure Avoidance Training

Learn to identify and avoid critical structures including spleen, diaphragm, and lung tissue for safe procedural technique development.

Universal System Compatibility

Performs optimally with any ultrasound imaging system configured with appropriate thoracentesis transducers, eliminating equipment limitations.

Complete Skills Development

Master ultrasound system controls, transducer positioning, anatomical recognition, fluid pocket targeting, and full procedural execution in one comprehensive trainer.
