New Packaging for TraumaMan Tissues
Due to improvements in the packaging methods of TraumaMan's replaceable tissues, the system is easier to use. Tissues are less oily when they arrive and they look great right out of the package. This, in addition to the new luer lock tips, make TraumaMan better than ever.
TraumaMan in Nigeria
Simulab just returned from Abuja, Nigeria where we helped support the first ATLS course in Nigeria. It was a great opportunity see a new country's adoption of ATLS.
TraumaMan, CentraLineMan, and FemoraLineMan performed wonderfully within the surgical skills lab portion of the course. The group of international faculty that came to support this course was an all-star lineup of ATLS legends and it was exciting to see how pleased they were with the most recent updates to Simulab's products.
Helpful Hint #13: Needle Decompression
If there is no air response during needle decompression, try the following:
- Make sure the ventilator tube is plugged in the correct connector on TraumaMan
- For increased air pressure, attach both tubes
- Make sure the needle is not cored by filling it with air and pressing on the plunger
- Also ensure that the user is inserting the needle into the correct needle placement zone - there is only a needle decompression bladder on TraumaMan's right side
If there is still no response, the bladder may need to be replaced.
