Simulab News: January 2012
Simulab at IMSH next week
The Simulab team is busy preparing to exhibit at the International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare in San Diego next week. Our booth will feature an array of new and improved products. We are excited to launch to great new products:
Introducing the first product in Simulab's line of nerve block trainers. The Interscalene/Supraclavicular Block Trainer is ultrasound compatible and has built-in nerve stimulation simulation. It incorporates Simulab's patent pending SmarTissue, which allows the tissue to communicate with a PC, showing the user when the needle or catheter are proximal to or in contact with the C5, C6, or C7 nerve.
Contact Simulab today if you would like more information.
LumbarPunctureBaby simulates a two week old infant that can be positioned either lateral or decubitus. The flexible body form is anatomically correct with a partial iliac crest and umbilicus. The replaceable tissue has an articulating L3 - L5 vertebrae with a partial sacrum and the gluteal crest. Each tissue includes a spinal cord filled with simulated CSF and the epidural venous plexus filled with simulated blood providing the user with either a positive or a negative response.
Contact Simulab today if you would like more information.
Simulab's booth (# 717) at IMSH will also feature TraumaMan, CentraLineMan, VascularAccessChild, Lumbar Puncture / Epidural Trainer, Perineal Repair Trainer, and much more, so be sure to stop by if you are attending the meeting!

Two new task trainers!
Simulab is excited to announce two new additions to its growing line of task trainers. Both of these models feature Simlulab's trademark realisitc soft tissue and anatomically correct design.
The Arthrocentesis Model is an anatomically correct task trainer that is perfect for practicing arthrocentesis. The model represents a left leg and includes the patella, patella ligament, tibia, fibula, femur, synovial sac, and synovial fluid. Synovial fluid can be removed from a joint cavity using either the medial or lateral approach and insertion sites include suprapatellar and parapatellar.
The Ultrasound Paracentesis Model is an ultrasound compatible trainer that allows the user to drain fluid from the peritoneal cavity in the abdomen. The anatomically correct model allows the procedure to be performed on both recommended areas: the midline below the umbilicus or medial, 4 to 5 cm above the anterosuperior iliac spine
New videos available
Have you been considering Simulab's new Venipuncture Pads or the Lumbar Puncture / Epidural Trainer, but want to learn more about them? There are now brief introductory videos available. The videos cover the features and benefits of the trainers and what to expect from both products.
TraumaMan in Nigeria
Simulab’s President, Doug Beighle, just returned from Abuja, Nigeria where he 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 their 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 our products.
