Documentation User guide and setup instructions

1. What procedures can be practised with this trainer?

The trainer supports needle decompression and chest drain insertion, including landmark identification, pleural puncture and tube placement.

2. Does the trainer provide realistic procedural feedback?

Yes. The model replicates the resistance of skin, fat and muscle, while the pleura tears with lifelike force. A pressurised air system also produces an audible hiss during decompression.

3. How many procedures can be performed before replacing the skin?

The rotatable skin can typically be used for around 30 incisions, simply by rotating it to expose a fresh area.

4. Can learners identify incorrect chest drain placement?

Yes. The trainer includes a visible lung, allowing learners to observe correct placement and recognise potential complications such as lung injury.

5. Are replacement parts available?

Yes. The skin, pleura and other key components are replaceable, helping extend the trainer’s lifespan and reduce ongoing maintenance costs.
