With the VIP (Vascular Injection Procedure) simulator for ultrasound guided vascular access procedures, it is possible to train hundreds of punctures with the inserction of guides and large-caliber catheters. The orifice closes after its removal, allowing further examination without persistent acoustic shadowing after 24 hours
The VIP allows the assessment of the arterial doppler, differentiating it from the venous vascular structure. The sensation of the depression of the vessel during puncture, the loss of resistance of the intraluminar needle, among other tactile perceptions, brings to the VIP characteristics similar only to those obtained in a real patient.
The simulator consists of:
Surgical unit: Made of Neoderma, it has superficial, medium and deep vascular structure. It is multifunctional, with 3 lines of mixed flow vessels (artery and vein) of approximately 20 cm with different calibers. The size of the vessels increases proportionally with depth. It allows several customization options such as atheroma plaques, shunts and more.
Base: Composed by a structure in acrylic, a container for artificial blood, peristaltic pump with speed control, and pressostatic valve that interrupts the vascular flow under pressure, which provides an increase of the internal gauge in the vessel.
