Abstract
An airway-related medical training system composed of a base plate and a front panel. The base plate is secured around the neck of a role-playing wearer and has an integrated cut-resistant layer. The front panel connects over the base plate of the wearer. The front panel provides a trachea portion having a replaceable cuttable skin portion to facilitate the airway-related medical training. The front portion may also provide a fluidly coupled blood simulator, a simulated wound site, and other indicia of neck injuries that are used to teach and educate trainees of the airway-related medical training system.
Claims12
A neck-related medical training system, comprising:
- a layer of flexible steel mesh having a first thickness between and including 1/16th of an inch to 3/16th of an inch, said layer configured to conform to a shape of a portion of a neck of a wearer;
- and
- a front panel having an access window, the front panel configured to removably attach to the layer of flexible steel mesh so that the access window is adjacent to a trachea of the wearer, wherein the front panel has a second thickness between and including 1/16th of an inch to 3/16th of an inch,
- whereby the conformability of the layer of mesh in conjunction with the combined thickness of the layer of steel mesh and the front panel being thickness between and including ⅛th of an inch to ⅜th of an inch, realistically simulates a profile of the neck of the wearer.
A neck-related medical training system, comprising:
- a base plate having a layer of flexible steel mesh having a thickness between and including 1/16th of an inch to 3/16th of an inch configured to conform to a shape of a neck of a wearer to form a realistic simulation thereof;
- the base plate having a flap portion configured to be adjacent a lower portion of the neck;
- a front panel having an access window, the front panel configured to removably attach to the cut-resistant layer so that the access window is adjacent to a simulated trachea attached to the base plate;
- a simulated skin removably sandwiched between the front panel and the base plate, and wherein a portion of the simulated skin is visible within the access window;
- and
- a blood reservoir disposed under the simulated skin.
A neck-related medical training system, comprising:
- a layer of flexible steel mesh having a first thickness configured to conform to a shape of a portion of a neck of a wearer;
- and
- a front panel having an access window, the front panel configured to removably attach to the layer of flexible steel mesh so that the access window is adjacent to a trachea of the wearer,
- whereby the conformability of the layer of mesh in conjunction with the combined thickness of the layer of steel mesh and the front panel, realistically simulates a profile of the neck of the wearer.
