Nasco Life/form NG Tube & Trach Skills Simulator

Overview

The Nasco Life/form NG Tube and Trach Skills Simulator is an anatomical model to facilitate hands-on instruction of respiratory and gastrointestinal care. This trainer features a newly designed Life/form head and torso with nasal and oral access for medical students to learn how to properly insert and manage a nasogastric and tracheostomy tube.

The Life/form Respiratory and Gastrointestinal Care Simulator features realistic anatomical landmarks, trachea, esophagus, lungs, and stomach with fluid pathways to add a mucus-like substance. Hydroxyethyl cellulose is mixed with water and added to the lungs and stomach to create real patient scenarios for students to perform tracheostomy care and suctioning. The trainer may also be used by students to practice endotracheal intubation and other medical procedures involving the throat, nose, and mouth.
