SmarTissue Regional Anesthesia and Vascular Access Training Package
- Includes body form with Regional Anesthesia Replaceable SmarTissue, nerve stimulator electronics, and SmarTissue software (PC compatible*)
- Ultrasound compatible for guidance during needle sticks and catheter placement
- Anatomically correct human torso with landmarks for enhanced realism
- Distinct “pop” is visualized and palpated when the needle enters into the neural sheath
- SmarTissue software interprets unique signals, illuminating an amber circle if the needle is proximal to the nerve and a red dot if the needle is inserted into the nerve
- Includes a simulated arterial pulse
- Can be injected with simulated anesthesia, which is naturally expelled (how) for repeated use.
