Cathterization simulator
3B Scientific GmbH (Hamburg - DE)
The P93 PRO male catheterization trainer can be used to realistically demonstrate, practice and evaluate male bladder catheterizations either via the urethra (transurethral) or the abdominal wall (suprapubic).
The genital inserts are placed into the anatomically correct lower abdominal model and held in place with magnets. The material is soft and flexible: the foreskin is movable and the penis can be stretched. This way the student can practice all the necessary gestures for catheterization (e.g. disinfection). The material gives a realistic feeling when inserting and removing the catheter into the bladder with realistic resistance and insertion depths.
Direct learning:
When the catheter has been correctly inserted, fluid runs out, just like with a real patient. The catheter can also be checked through the transparent bladder. The abdominal wall on the PRO version can be removed for better visualization of the procedure during urethral catheterization.
Various levels of difficulty:
On the male insert, three different levels of narrowing of urethra can be set. In the narrowest setting, catheterization is not possible, leading to the conclusion that a suprapubic catheter is needed.
Change and supply of a suprapubic urinary catheter:
If catheterization through the urethra is no longer possible, a suprapubic catheter must be inserted. The suprapubic catheter is usually placed by the doctor through the abdominal wall into the filled urinary bladder and fixed to the abdominal wall. The PRO version can be used to practice changing the suprapubic catheter and its care. Care includes changing dressings, cleaning the catheter and disinfecting the wound.
