Specialized ultrasound-guided thoracentesis training for pleural effusion management
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
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.
Immediate confirmation when pleural effusions are accurately accessed, providing learners with realistic procedural validation and confidence building.
Blue Phantom’s patented ultra-durable tissue withstands repeated punctures with 18-21 gauge needles, dramatically reducing replacement costs and maintenance requirements.
Simulated tissue matches acoustic characteristics of real human tissue, delivering clinical-quality imaging without system adjustments or unrealistic settings.
Easy refill using quick-fill luer lock ports or connect to I.V. reservoir for continuous fluid delivery during extended training sessions.
Learn to identify and avoid critical structures including spleen, diaphragm, and lung tissue for safe procedural technique development.
Performs optimally with any ultrasound imaging system configured with appropriate thoracentesis transducers, eliminating equipment limitations.
Master ultrasound system controls, transducer positioning, anatomical recognition, fluid pocket targeting, and full procedural execution in one comprehensive trainer.
