Description
Improve pre-hospital, patient-care training with instructional, hands-on simulation of hemorrhage control on the lower extremity with the 3B® Hemorrhage Control Leg Trainer. It features 3 realistic wounds and bleeding simulation. Trainees will gain confidence in managing difficult bleeding using tourniquets, wound packing, and amputation management skills. It is especially suitable for Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) and Civilian Casualty Care training. An affordable and simple solution for realistic training of bleeding control and management of traumatic injuries on the thigh.
Product Features
- Equipped with 3 different wound patterns: deep laceration (around 4 cm deep) in the groin area, gunshot wound through and through (GSW) with entry and exit wounds on the upper thigh, and amputation in the knee region
- A manual blood pump system supplies artificial blood to each wound individually, to any 2 of them in combination, or to 3 wounds all together
- Various scenarios of venous or arterial pulsatile blood hemorrhage can be simulated easily and realistically
- The trainee will get a direct visual feedback (stop of bleeding by mechanical occlusion) once the application of the chosen hemorrhage control technique is successful
Hemorrhage Control Procedures that Can Be Taught with this Simulator
- Limb Tourniquet Application—Tourniquets can be placed either “high and tight” at the proximal end of the extremity or 5–8 cm above the wounds. If the tourniquet is applied correctly, the bleeding stops automatically by mechanical occlusion of the blood vessels. It is also possible to train students in dual-tourniquet application.
- Wound Packing—A deep lying lacerated tube can be palpated manually at the injured blood vessel. The junctional and the gunshot wound can be packed with gauze.
- Hemostatic Device Application—The gunshot wounds are compatible for an application of the XSTAT® hemostatic device.
- Stump/Large Area Wound Dressing
- Drop-Knee Technique—This technique is applicable in the scenarios which exclude a junctional wound. A wound cover is supplied for this purpose in the delivery content.
Technical Features
- The trainer simulates a leg of an adult male with an amputation in the knee region with realistic outer anatomy
- The skin is made of sturdy, high-quality SKINlike™ silicone to simulate human skin and tissue haptics
- Features bony landmarks and palpable damaged vessel
- Direct feedback—the bleeding will stop (mechanical occlusion of blood vessels) when tourniquet has been correctly applied (placement and closing)
- The application of the tourniquet can be made “high and tight” or 5–8 cm (2–3″) above the wound
- Each wound can be hidden with a dedicated cover to offer modular injury scenarios
- Each wound bleeds independently
- Designed for field use—sturdy construction; requires no batteries or external power
- Easy to clean and to transport in carrying bag (included)
- Realistic, low-cost simulator for repetitive training
Bleeding System
- Secure blood reservoir (2 liters) with manual blood pump system simulating venous or arterial pulsatile blood hemorrhage
- No back flow of the blood to the reservoir during wound packing, so the simulation will be uninterrupted
- Contains 250 mL of artificial blood concentrate for the preparation of 2 liters of blood
Note: Tourniquets are not included in the delivery scope.
