*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.
