Outline

The model simulates the lower abdomen and pelvis of an adult female with true-to-life size and texture of pudendum and perineum. It facilitates the practice of catheterization. Trainees can experience actual resistance and pressure as they would with a real patient. The genitalia are realistically soft and pliable.

Skills Gained

· Anatomical understanding

· Catheter placement

· Withdrawal of catheter

· Bladder irrigation

Features

· Anatomy: Pudendum, perineum, labia, clitoris, urethral orifice, bladder

· Realism: Supple urethra and resistant sphincter providing realistic response

· Key Features:

1)   Urine (water) actually comes out when catheter is inserted properly.

2)   An external fluid bag provides simulated urine, using non-return valve technology to ensure that the catheter is removed without leakage.

3)   Except using external fluid bag, built-in fluid reservoir can also provide simulated urine.

4)   Pudendum can be removed for easy cleaning and maintenance.
