The Life/Form by Nasco Healthcare Chest Tube Manikin is designed specifically to teach the theory, anatomy and skills needed to manage pre-hospital chest trauma. As well as ongoing chest tube maintenance.
This manikin is perfect for teaching the concepts and mechanics of closed water-seal drainage systems like Pleur-Evac type units.
The right side of the manikin has two cut-away viewing areas. This promotes awareness of the anatomical relationships between the skin surface, musculature, ribs and lungs. The left side has a pressurised tension pneumothorax site to relieve air that has accumulated within the pleural space and is restricting lung inflation.
Also includes a site to surgically insert chest tubes to treat pleural effusion by draining fluids from the pleural space.
The instructor can control fluid colour, volume, and viscosity.
Five Year Warranty.
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.

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.
Blood powder was excellent for teaching catastrophic bleed management and it makes so much blood. Would highly recommend.
spare part required for CPR mannikin.
very quick processing and delivery - no problems encountered
I’ve ordered two posters of dog anatomy. I’m very happy with the quality and delivery was very fast. Would recommend
The website description/ part numbers were very clear, ordering and paying was simple, and the goods were delivered very quickly. Thank you.
Great service and speedy delivery. Good quality product too. Will definitely be purchasing more products.
Already have a few of these phantoms, so this adds to the collection. Sims and Skills and the best price around and was easy to order with deliver just a few days after ordering. I’ll be back when I need some replacements!
Good Service, professional and excellent aftercare
I was looking for something economical for airway training and these people pulled the cat out of the bag. No fuss, great comms and superquick fulfillment of my order
Does exactly what we needed, it will help us train our care staff on bowel care for our spinal cord injured clients 👍
Professional, excellent service
Great products to act realism to any training session
