Regional Anesthesia

Shorten the Path to Ultrasound-Guided Needle Tip Placement Mastery

The Regional Anesthesia Series is a high-tech, safe and realistic simulated learning experience. It’s embedded with patented, SmarTissue™ technology that gives learners important feedback during a graduated learning program —from tissue pad to simulated patient body form.

The Regional Anesthesia Femoral Trainer with SmarTissue allows skills practice for femoral nerve blocks with ultrasound compatible tissue. This trainer allows ultrasound practice with visualization of the most clinically relevant femoral anatomy and needle tip to ensure proper manipulation, placement, and proximity to the nerves. The trainer consists of a body form and replaceable tissue, each embedded with SmarTissue technology, allowing the system to connect with any PC to provide needle-to-nerve visuals and audio verification of proper technique.

Skill Development :

• Psychomotor skills associated with targeting femoral nerves for regional anesthesia nerve blocks.
• Ultrasound imaging skills
• Transducer and needle manipulation and movement.
• Visualize needle tip positioning, proximity, and placement verification.
• Recognition of nerves, arteries, veins and fascia layer anatomy.

Features:

• Ultrasound is compatible for guidance during needle insertion.
• Anatomically correct lower torso with landmarks for placing femoral blocks.
• Distinct realistic “pop” is visualized and palpated when the needle passes through the fascia layers.
• SmarTissue software interprets unique signals, showing orange when in contact and red when penetrating the nerve.

Landmarks:

• Inguinal crease
• Inguinal ligament.
• Anterior superior iliac spine.
• Pubic tubercle.

Ultrasound Anatomy:

• Femoral nerve.
• Femoral artery (pulsatile) and vein (pressurized).
• Fascia lata and iliacus Iliopsoas.
• Inguinal ligament.
