Chest Tube Manikin

The Chest Tube Manikin is specifically designed for users to learn the theory, anatomy, and skills needed to manage pre-hospital chest trauma, and also ongoing chest tube maintenance. The right side of the Chest Tube Manikin has two cut-away viewing areas to teach users of the anatomical relationship between the skin surface, musculature, ribs, and lungs. The left side of the Chest Tube Manikin has a pressurized tension pneumothorax site to relieve air that gathered within the pleural space and is restricting lung inflation. The Chest Tube Manikin also includes a site where chest tubes can be surgically placed to treat pleural effusion by draining fluids from the pleural space. The fluid colour, volume, and viscosity in the Chest Tube Manikin are all controlled by the instructor. The Chest Tube Manikin is ideal for students and trainees to learn the concepts and mechanics of closed water-seal drainage systems like "pleur-Evac" type units.
