Sim*Cath

Description

Sim*Cath provides the learner with a realistic central venous line insertion kit which contains all materials for practice. This catheter tray includes all of the equipment usually found in basic CVL insertion sets.

This kit is provided in a plastic tray to simulate the self-contained sets usually available at bedside CVL placement. The use of the Sim*Cath kit avoids re-using torn or bent wires and catheters. May be reused several times by each learner. Small catheter size limits damage to standard insertion models.

Note: Insertion manikin is not provided.
