Branched 2 Vessel Ultrasound Training Block Model

Branched 2 Vessel Ultrasound Training Block Model

If you have been looking for an ultrasound training tool, either as a student or an educator, look no further than our lifelike, premium training block.

This model focuses on venous and arterial cannulation procedures. It features branching blood vessels positioned at differing depths and courses for multiple training opportunities: independent linear vessels for initial training, and overlapping branched vessels for more advanced ultrasound training.

Practice using ultrasound system controls, positioning and moving the transducer, and recognizing vessels in soft tissue. Positive fluid flow "flash" occurs when the vessels are accurately accessed.

The Simulex tissue has self-healing properties, allowing for 1000+ punctures when used with an 18-21 gauge needle.

About Elevate Healthcare (formerly CAE) Blue Phantom

At the turn of the 21st century, ultrasound was becoming a go-to technique across medical specialties. With the release of the first truly portable ultrasound systems, a procedure that had once been limited to radiologists was being used everywhere, from emergency medicine to anesthesiology. The demand for ultrasound training was high, but little was available to aid in training.

Sonographer Brian Keegan recognized the need for a reliable training tool and set off to develop the first ultrasound training phantom. After countless hours of creating and testing different configurations in his garage, he finally designed a product that matched the acoustic properties of human tissue and worked with any ultrasound system. The first ultrasound phantom to emerge from Keegan’s work was a small blue block with two internal vessels to mimic veins. That model was inspired by the Blue Phantom name.

In 2012, Elevate Healthcare (formerly CAE Healthcare) acquired Blue Phantom to further expand and enhance simulation-based clinical training and the delivery of patient care globally. Today, Blue Phantom produces the world's most realistic and durable anatomical task trainers. Coupled with a commitment to customer service and quality, Elevate Healthcare is recognized as the leader in ultrasound training models.

About Blue Phantom Simulex Tissue

Engineered to match the acoustic characteristics of human tissue, the Elevate Healthcare (formerly CAE Healthcare) Blue Phantom patented Simulex tissue is compatible with any real diagnostic ultrasound imaging system (Diagnostic frequencies range from approximately 2 to 20MHz).

Blue Phantom Simulex tissue heals itself following needle sticks. After any ultrasound-guided interventional procedure using 18-21g, sharp, unbent needles, the Simulex tissue will automatically seal around the area where the needle was placed, eliminating leaks. An independent research study performed by the Naval Medical Center and Christiana Care Health System confirmed that any Blue Phantom model can endure at least 1,000 needle sticks before it needs to be replaced. The Simulex ultrasound tissue simulation technology is patented by Blue Phantom (US Patent No. 7,255,565).

Made in the USA.
