a modular, repairable model for chest drain training
Our Chest Drain Task Trainer is a practical and affordable model for teaching and practising both needle decompression and chest drain insertion. Designed for functional realism, it replicates the feel of skin, fat, and muscle layers, offering the right resistance during incision and dissection.
The pleura layer is engineered to tear with realistic force and the model can be pressurised to produce an audible air hiss during decompression. A visible lung helps demonstrate correct placement and highlight possible complications such as pleural injury.
The rotatable skin allows multiple procedures per consumable, making it suitable for repeated practice and skills assessment. All key parts are replaceable, extending the trainer’s lifespan and reducing ongoing costs - a simple, effective solution for mastering chest procedures without the high price tag.
key features
*Rotatable skin
The skin can be cut multiple times with almost no preparation time - simply rotate it to expose a fresh area. No incision marks are predefined, allowing learners to locate landmarks themselves.
*Pressurised air system
Built-in mechanism releases air during needle decompression, simulating the tension relief of a pneumothorax.
*Realistic pleura tear
The pleural layer is engineered to puncture and tear with lifelike force, helping learners recognise correct technique.
*Visible lung
Internal lung component makes it possible to observe placement and identify potential injury.
supports the following learning objectives:
Anatomy
Identify the correct anatomical site for chest tube insertion.
Blunt Dissection
Perform safe blunt dissection through skin and tissue layers.
tube placement
Insert a chest tube using correct technique and depth.
Tube Stabilisation
Secure a chest tube in place.
Procedural safety
Recognise and avoid improper angles or injury to underlying structures.
