Outline

This transparent model allows observing anatomical pelvic structure and practicing of the proper insertion. Trainees can experience actual resistance and pressure as they would with a real patient.

Skills Gained

· Catheter placement

· Withdrawal of catheter

· Bladder irrigation

· Correct handling of anatomy

Features

· Anatomy: Ureter, bladder, urethra, genitals

· Realism: Supple urethra and resistant sphincter providing realistic response

· Key Features:

1)   Urine (water) actually comes out when catheter is inserted properly

2)   Trainees can feel realistic urethrostenosis and curvature

3)   The penis can be adjusted to make an angle of 60° with abdomen

4)   An external fluid bag provides simulated urine, using non-return valve technology to ensure that the catheter is removed without leakage
