*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.
