| Titel: | A New Manikin for Airway Skills Training |
| Kurzfassung: | A company in Northern Ireland has developed a reproduction of the human airway anatomy that is invaluable as a training aid to facilitate the learning and development of airway management skills for all health professionals. They are now seeking a medical equipment company for a commercial agreement, technical cooperation or joint venture. |
Details: | A company in Northern Ireland has developed a reproduction of the human airway anatomy that is invaluable as a training aid to facilitate the learning and development of airway management skills for all health professionals. 1. The tongue has a real-life shape and texture that responds as it would in real life. It can be inflated to variable sizes to create different swollen tongue scenarios allowing varying degrees of difficulty for tracheal intubation. They recommend an initial inflation volume of no more than 20ml of air to create normal lingual tension. 2. The teeth are constructed from denture moulds to truly represent this part of the human anatomy giving further realism. A "breakaway teeth" option is available demonstrate the effects of bad practice. 3. The jaw has a unique spring-loaded mandible allowing jaw thrust, realistic mouth opening together with the full range of jaw and mouth movements. This spring-loaded mandible can be adjusted to re-create limited jaw/mouth opening. 4. The neck has a novel joint construction allowing a full range of extension, flexion, lateral and rotational movements. The neck may be fixed in any position using the 'wing nut' tensioner. In addition the neck joint may also be locked in one of three fixed positions to create easy or difficult airway management scenarios. This is achieved using the dedicated pin system that can be inserted into the neck joint at the appropriate position. 5. The plinth holding the unit is integrated and sturdy for stability during use. It is easily transported and can be safely stored in its carry cover. It can be fixed in place by means of two sturdy black suction cups. These may need to be moistened slightly for full adhesion depending on the surface the Airsim is placed. 6. The product provides a true anatomical fit and seal, which makes it indispensable for training on insertion of all currently available supra-glottic devices, which includes: * Laryngeal Mask (Classic, Fastrach, Proseal and other single-use varieties) * Laryngeal Tube * Cobra PLA (Peri-Laryngeal Airway) * PAXpress (Pharyngeal Airway Express) * Combitube (latest version only) 7. Faithful visualisation of internal features for bronchoscopic examination. 8. Unique capability for training insertion of double-lumen tracheal tubes because of the anatomically accurate left main bronchus extension. 9. Facility for cricothyroidotomy. Innovative Aspects: The major developmental approach that makes the product special is that: * The airway is moulded from a master that was created from data collected from a CT (Computed Tomography) scan of a person. * The one-piece mould together with the sophisticated dipping procedure during manufacture makes possible much of the realism offered. * Integrated one-piece and seamless construction for real-life functionality. Construction and material used will produce a human like tactile feedback during use. The airway will behave like it would in real life when being manipulated. These features of the airway trainer combine to give positive feedback during and after correct placement of an airway device. Main Advantages: - Light weight. - Realistic anatomy and function. - Suitable for all airway manoeuvres. |
