*We only use fresh cadavers which are always subject to availiability.
In the event that cadavers are unavailable we use TruCorp AirSim standard and multi trainers. We stand by the realism
of these airway trainers. They have no parallel among other airway trainers (with the exception of cadavers).
The AirSim is uniquely constructed to allow realistic feedback during airway management procedures and provides true anatomically
correct visually accurate internal features.
The novel neck construction allows the head to be moved in a number
of positions. This ranges from the standard "Sniffing the morning air" position to more difficult scenarios.
The
AirSim is ideal for training in the use of:
Laryngeal Masks
Full range of supraglottic devices
Laryngoscopes
Tracheal tubes
Fibreoptic Laryngoscopes
Needle Cricothyroidotomy Systems
The unique construction is continued with the AirSim Multi unit. Additionally a nasal passage and a full face
have been developed to facilitate nasal procedures as well as bag and mask ventilation. The 'Multi' can
be used in the training of all the procedures facilitated by the AirSim including:
Laryngeal Masks
Full range
of supraglottic devices
Laryngoscopes
Tracheal tubes
Fibreoptic Laryngoscopes
Needle Cricothyroidotomy
Systems
Nasal Procedures
The nasal passage has been developed in a manner similar
to the main airway. This gives the same anatomical realism and functionality. In addition the material used offers the
same tactile feedback which is delivered with the main airway itself. These features allow AirSim to be used for training
and practice in naso-tracheal intubation and nasally directed fibreoptic examination. In all cases the model offers
a true to life look and feel.
Bag and Mask Procedures
The lower jaw is sculpted
from the same material as the head which gives a finished full face with jaw movement to facilitate realistic training in
bag and mask ventilation.
TruCorp AirSim Trainers
For too long, health professionals have had to tolerate
unrealistic mannequins. TruCorp refuses to accept this and has created AirSim, a highly realistic and functional airway training
system. Conceived and developed by doctors at the Queens University of Belfast in close collaboration with engineers,
Airsim sets new standards in medical skills training.
It is invaluable
as a training tool in the techniques of laryngoscopy, tracheal intubation, fibre-optic examination and needle cricothyroidotomy.
The product provides a true anatomical fit and seal which makes it indispensable for the training of the insertion of all
currently available supraglottic devices. Airsim has a unique capability for training insertion of double lumen tracheal
tubes.
To ensure maximum realism, the AirSim's airway has been created from data
collected from a CT scan of a person, is molded in one piece and put through a sophisticated dipping process. An integrated
and seamless construction offers true to life functionality. The airway unit is manufactured from a polymer compound
which gives a positive tactile feedback during and after correct placement of an airway device. For realism during bronchoscopic
examination the airway provides faithful realization of internal anatomical features.
AirSim's tongue has a realistic shape and texture which responds as it would in real life and can be inflated to variable
sizes to simulate different swollen tongue scenarios. The teeth are constructed from denture moulds to truly represent
this part of the human anatomy giving excellent realism. AirSim's jaw has a unique spring loaded mandible allowing
jaw thrust and realistic mouth opening together with the full range of jaw and mouth movements. The neck has a novel
joint construction giving a range of extension and flexion. The AirSim Family have an integrated plinth which is sturdy
and stable. It can be easily transported or safely stored in its carry bag.
TruCorp
Trainers feature : One-piece seamless construction, human-like tactile feedback during use, faithful visualization of internal
features, and an inflatable tongue with real life shape and texture. It also includes a full range of neck movements, a unique
capability for insertion of double lumen tracheal tubes, and it is suitable for the insertion of needle cricothyroidotomy
systems.
