Catheter Insertion (Placement Training Only)
A 14 FR or smaller Foley catheter may be inserted into the urethra.
1.
Follow the setup instructions to ensure the external genital
pad is securely snapped onto the plastic stand.
2.
Generously lubricate the catheter and perform the procedure.
3.
Catheter inflation and deflation may be practiced; however
the trainer will not provide a fluid output.
Realistic Simulation
Follow the tips below for making your training experience more
representative of a real patient.
a.
Dust the external genital pad with a little baby powder for a
life-like feel.
b.
Simulate natural tissue moisture by applying a small
amount of soapy water to the vaginal surfaces and cervix.
c.
Blood and various secretions can be introduced through
the front or back of the trainer using the syringe. Mix a
small amount of blood powder and/or thickener with a little
water to get the desired color and consistency.
Caution:
Blood solution will stain skin and fabrics!
d.
The cervix is mobile, and may be positioned as desired.
e.
Makeup and moulage materials can be used. While the
trainer’s components do not normally stain, always test
such materials in an inconspicuous area before final
application.
Cleaning and Storage:
The trainer may be completely disassembled for easy
cleaning.
1.
Open the back and remove the support blocks and
the vagina.
2.
Unsnap the genital pad from the front of the trainer.
3.
All components, including the case, can be washed
gently in warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and air
dry before re-assembling and storing the trainer.
Cautions
Examination equipment that is too large may damage the trainer.
Nasco recommends using the smallest speculum possible.
The trainer does not have the capability to introduce fluids into
a simulated bladder. Practice catheter insertion, balloon inflation
and deflation, and removal only.
