PTT-B55 Needle Decompression Trainer for Pneumothorax

Product Features:

Operation:

The PTT-B55 Ribs in a Box^® device comes in its own case and is used to train students in the needle decompression of tension pneumothorax. To prepare the device, the instructor places a self-adhesive membrane between the two layers of ROCKTECH^® bone, and then the whole thing is pressed into the appropriate hole in the skin. If the instructor wants the device to release air after the needle is inserted, they can place an inflated diagnostic glove or balloon in the base of the cavity. The device is then placed back in its case for use.

Maintenance:

The device should be rinsed in clean, warm water and allowed to air dry before storing. The simulation can be removed from the case for cleaning. The device can be washed with mild detergents, such as dish soap, or cleaned with a disinfectant, such as isopropyl alcohol or a diluted bleach solution — it is durable and chemically resistant. Be sure to dry it completely before storing to prevent the growth of mold or mildew.
