Nasco Life/form KERi Auscultation Manikins

Life/form KERi Auscultation Manikin Overview

Nasco Life/form KERi Auscultation Manikins are medical training models that simulate heart and lung functions and offer students hands-on training for more than 35 different medical functions. These soft, lifelike models feature a natural range of motion and non-pinching joints that mimic an actual patient for ultra-realistic patient handling and positioning.

The KERi Auscultation simulators offer all the same functions as other KERi models, including ostomy care, urinary catheterization, and intramuscular injection sites, with the added benefit of a fully functioning auscultation torso that simulates normal and abnormal heart and lung conditions. They have a non-age-specific appearance and the gender can be swapped by changing out the genitalia and removing the wig.

Selecting a KERi Auscultation Model

Several auscultation models are available from which to choose. Each of the full Manikins (LF04023, LF04123, LF04026, LF04124) simulate over 35 functions and procedures, while the Update (LF04024) is an auscultation torso that can be added on to an existing Manikin. These simulators feature five anterior and 12 posterior lung sites and six anterior heart site locations. Depending on the model chosen, they simulate between 12 and 16 lung conditions and 12 heart conditions.

Life/form KERi Auscultation Manikin - Light (LF04023) has a light skin tone and features 12 different lung conditions.

Life/form Complete KERi Auscultation Manikin - Medium (LF04123) has a medium skin tone and features 16 different lung condtions.

Life/form Advanced KERi Auscultation Manikin - Light (LF04026) and Life/form Advanced KERi Auscultation Manikin - Medium (LF04124) simulate 16 lung conditions. The Advanced models also feature a blood pressure training arm that simulates the five Korotkoff sounds and an IV training arm with an intramuscular injection site at the shoulder that includes replaceable skin and realistic veins that roll when touched.

KERi Manikin Auscultation Update (LF04024) allows other KERi Manikins to be converted into Auscultation models. This product attaches to a KERi manikin and simulates 12 heart conditions and 16 lung conditions. It also features gastronomy care functions, including lavage and gavage.
