Description
Description
Chest Drain and Needle Decompression Trainer
Designed for functional realism, it replicates the feel of skin, fat, and muscle layers, offering the right resistance during incision and dissection.
The pleura layer is engineered to tear with realistic force, and the model can be pressurised to produce an audible air hiss during decompression. A visible lung helps demonstrate correct placement and highlight possible complications such as pleural injury.
The rotatable skin allows multiple procedures per consumable, making it suitable for repeated practice and skills assessment. All key parts are replaceable, extending the trainer’s lifespan and reducing ongoing costs - a simple, effective solution for mastering chest procedures without the high price tag.
Features
- The skin can be cut multiple times (estimated 30 cuts per skin) with almost no preparation time - simply rotate it to expose a fresh area. No incision marks are predefined, allowing learners to locate landmarks themselves.
- Pressurised air system - Built-in mechanism releases air during needle decompression, simulating the tension relief of a pneumothorax.
-
Realistic pleura tear - The pleural layer is engineered to puncture and tear with lifelike force, helping learners recognise correct technique.
- Visible lung - Internal lung component makes it possible to observe placement and identify potential injury.
About Chest Drains
Chest drains are used in many different hospital settings and doctors in most specialties need to be capable of their safe insertion. Incorrect placement of a chest drain can lead to significant morbidity and even mortality.
A chest drain is a tube inserted through the chest wall between the ribs and into the pleural cavity to allow drainage of air (pneumothorax), blood (haemothorax), fluid (pleural effusion) or pus (empyema) out of the chest. In any one patient, it is essential to understand what the drain is aiming to achieve.
The effective drainage of air, blood or fluid from the pleural space requires an adequately positioned drain and an airtight, one-way drainage system to maintain subatmospheric intrapleural pressure. This allows the drainage of the pleural contents and re-expansion of the lung. Pneumothorax or haemothorax can help restore haemodynamic and respiratory stability by optimising ventilation/perfusion and minimising mediastinal shift.

Amazing
But recommend the sutures to be 2/0.
4/0 is very small
I'm a medical student and was really pleased with the quality of this kit, all the tools are well made and the case is near and sturdy
Works well
If i could give it 4.5 I would but I'm much more inclined to say I'm happy with this product. Really good quality, excellent resource for my vet suturing practice. I have a mild complaint about the silk sutures, they rip/ fray more easily than I hoped, but easily rectified by buying new ones (which are cheap) and also encourages me to be more gentle with my knots. I'm so happy with it and it's a perfect still revising break from studying. Thank you Sim and Skills!!!
Student Feedback: Feedback was gathered from 13 students. Overall, they liked the trainer and would recommend it to their peers for learning blood glucose testing. They found the trainer easy to use and helpful in demonstrating the procedure. The students felt that the trainer added significant value to their training, with the main benefit being an increased competency in blood glucose testing.
Lecturer Feedback: Feedback was collected from 7 lecturers. Most of them found the trainer to be authentic and effective in simulating the challenges of blood sugar testing. They appreciated that it encouraged patient communication, which is a great plus. The product was of good quality and reliable for teaching purposes. However, there was a minor issue with the finger becoming leaky after multiple uses. Despite this, the lecturers agreed that the trainer prepares students well for real-world blood glucose testing.
Excellent service and speedy delivery. Highly recommended
Brilliant teaching aid. Lots of useful equipment within set. Excellent for practice.
Amazing product
As a proud owner of a Sim & Skills Foot & Ankle model, I thought it was time I invested in a Hand & Wrist.
My clients find it really helpful when we are discussing anatomy and it really aids their recovery.
I believe client education and knowing that your body is something to be enjoyed, not feared, is such an important platform for recovery from chronic pain.
This item is very useful for NG insertion training, it can be used in a horizontal position and the fluid bag does not leak out. The bag and tubing can all be stored within the head making storage of the item easy. It is very simple to use and the head is strong and durable
Purchased these bags for training with venepuncture and so far very pleased with quality and cost
Fast delivery, excellent communication and a great price
Excellent fast service. Thank you.
