## Abstract

The Tactical Combat Casualty Care Trainer For Hyper-Realistic™ Emergency Medical Training (“TCCC”) of the present invention includes a tactical combat training device for the purpose of providing an emergency medical services provider hands-on training. The TCCC includes an artificial human skeleton having specific anatomical features which provide the trainee or provider with appropriate tactile response analogous to a real human patient, thereby increasing the fidelity of training and improving the skills necessary to conduct procedures such as cricothyrotomy, intrasosseous infusion, CPR and other medical services to human patients. The skeleton is covered by a realistic coating that simulates human skin, which adds to the TCCC's training value. The TCCC also includes a removable trachea module and training pucks located at the sternum as well as the left and right proximal humeral heads to simulate the use of infusion-type devices.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A training device for human casualties consisting of:
a human skeleton-like structure comprising a torso, neck, and skull;
removable pucks for needles and catheters;
a human skin-like material that covers the skeleton; and
a removable trachea module,
where the torso includes ribs, neck, lumbar spine, thoracic spine, and cervical spine and removable pucks for needles and catheters;
where the skull comprises a mouth with movable jaw and tongue, nasal passage, and eye sockets,
where the neck section comprises an opening for a removable trachea module,
where the trachea module fits into an opening in the neck section.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The training device for human casualties of claim 1, further consisting of the human skin-like material made from a two-part, liquid silicone, tin-based polymer.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The training device for human casualties of claim 1, further consisting of a removable puck located near the top of the simulated sternum.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The training device for human casualties of claim 1, further consisting of a removable puck located at a proximal humeral head.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The training device for human casualties of claim 1, where the removable trachea module consists of thyrohyoid ligament, laryngeal prominence, cricothyroid membrane, and thyroid cartilage.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The training device for human casualties of claim 5, where the different parts of the trachea training module are made from different materials to simulate the texture and strength of real human tissue.
