This pressurized system mimics intrathoracic pressure ensuring accurate tidaling and fluctuation. You can even mimic an air leak to enhance the learning experience.
Accurate Tidaling
Students can accurately assess their patient’s chest tube by observing the tidaling and fluctuation of the closed chest drainage system on the wearable chest tube care simulator.
Paired with the easy-to-use Avkin App, you have complete control over blood flow, air leaks, and respiratory rate.
Removeable Crepitus
Optional inserts allow learners to assess and document their patient’s crepitus during the simulation learning experience.
Avthor: Wearable Chest Tube Simulator
Avthor, a wearable chest tube care simulator, replicates the intrathoracic pressures needed to realistically teach the assessment and care of a patient with a chest tube. When pairing the Avthor with a live patient, the simulation can include repositioning, transferring, and/or ambulating a patient with a chest tube.
It is refreshing to work with a company so committed to supporting the integration of products and the success of students, they don’t leave you after the sale!
We have better resources and technology than we did in the early 2000s and now we can use Avkin’s wearable simulators with live people which outweighs the current manikin technology
Avkin has put much thought and energy into diverse skin tones for their wearable simulators. The skin tones are a good representation of diverse patient populations.
The possibilities are endless with what you have. Your product line is fantastic. Far more value for your money to have these products than something that tells you end-tidal CO2
This product solves the problem that a lot of us have in simulation. When you practice on a piece of plastic, it’s just not the same experience for the student.
The creativity and realism of these products will immerse the healthcare learner more deeply in simulation education, ultimately improving patient safety.
These products are improving my students’ theory application and the improvement they’ve shown with their skills dexterity.
