General information

This Pneumothorax Simulator allows medical personnel to practice proper needle insertion which enables built-up air pressure to escape the thorax. The model consists of a rigid toros with a simulated rib cage, covered with a foam liner and a lifelike soft vinyl skin.

Needle thoracotomy

It accepts needle thoracotomy in the second intercostal space in the midclavicular line, or the fifth intercostal space in the mid-axillary line.
