This realistic tension pneumothorax simulator was specifically developed for hands-on training in emergency and trauma care. Recommended by emergency medicine instructors, this training model enables the demonstration and safe practice of precise interventions for managing life-threatening chest injuries, particularly in cases of impaired breathing and circulatory compromise resulting from a tension pneumothorax.
The simulator supports training in proper needle decompression to relieve pressure in the chest under realistic conditions. Trainees can perform the anatomically correct puncture both in the 2nd intercostal space along the midclavicular line and in the 5th intercostal space along the mid-axillary line. This makes the model ideal for training in modern emergency medical standards and tactical care protocols.
A rigid torso with a simulated chest cavity, foam padding, and lifelike skin provides realistic tactile feedback and helps trainees safely orient themselves to anatomical landmarks. The integrated, inflatable pleural unit enables a realistic simulation of a tension pneumothorax. The pressure conditions can be generated using a foot pump and reproduced consistently for repeated training sessions.
To ensure a long service life, the trainer features a replaceable and reversible pleural chamber designed for repeated punctures.

Now there is a manikin designed specifically to teach the theory, anatomy, and skills needed to manage pre-hospital chest trauma, as well as ongoing chest tube maintenance. The right side of the manikin has two cut-away viewing areas to provide awareness of the anatomical relationships between the skin surface, musculature, ribs, and lungs. The left side has a pressurized tension pneumothorax site to relieve air that accumulated within the pleural space and is restricting lung inflation. There is also a site where chest tubes may be surgically placed to treat pleural effusion by draining fluids from the pleural space. The fluid colour, volume, and viscosity are controlled by the instructor. The Chest Tube Manikin is perfect for teaching the concepts and mechanics of closed water-seal drainage systems like "Pleur-Evac" type units. Manikin comes with two visual sites for chest tube maintenance, five replaceable surgical chest tube sites, five replaceable pneumothorax chest pads and a hard carrying case.
This unique model combines the most important procedures in thorax trauma treatment. It is made of life-like silicon material and provides realistic training feeling to the student.The following procedures can be trained:- Thoracentesis (left and right)- Thoracic drainage (left and right)- Pericardiocentesis- Cricothyrotomy (surgical or puncture)Supplied with spongy support, artificial blood and soft case.
The pneumothorax trainer has been specially developed for professional training in techniques for relieving tension pneumothorax. It represents an adult torso and has bilateral tension pneumothorax and decompression openings in each axillary and subclavicular region.
The Casualty Care Rescue Randy was designed using „Strategic Operations Hyper-Realistic® technology“ and is perfect for service members to be trained in TCCC (Tactical Combat Casulaty Care) and TECC (Tactical Emergency Casualty Care).Its training opportunities include the treeatment of the 3 most preventable cuases of death:- Massive Bleeding (Femoral and Brachial extremity wounds, Inguinal and Carotid junctional wounds - Treatment interventions Extremity and junctional tourniquets, wound packing and pressure bandage)- Tension Pneumothorax (Needle decompression 4th/5th ICS axillary and 2nd/3rd ICS mid-clavicular) as well as pentrating chest wound (Chest Seal)- Aiway obstruction (Nasopharyngeal, Oropharyngeal, Cricothyroidotomy)It offers the following features:- Rugged full body manikin with articulated joints- Weight-distributed to mimic the human anatomy- Holds 3-4 liters of blood- Pumping system with regulator simulating human blood flow pressure (2-3) psi- Manual foot operated blood puming system allows 3 wounds to bleed simultaneously- Optional electric deluxe puming system allowing 4 wounds to bleed simultaneouslyComes with:- blod powder (makes 5 gallons)- 3 repairable neck skins- 10 repairable tracheas- 1 repair setMale manikin.Size: 165 x 63,5 x 30,5 cm, weight: ca. 55 kg
