Home / Medical simulators / Physical examination / Paracentesis Trainer

The Paracentesis Trainer offers dual functionality for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Palpation or ultrasound guided techniques can be used in the lower abdominal quadrants for the insertion of the needle and catheter while avoiding the liver, spleen and bowel.

Echolucent pads and Echogenic organs inside the trainer give trainees the opportunity to become familiar with the internal anatomy under ultrasound, and recognizing how to safely insert a needle of catheter into the peritoneal cavity.
