Birthing Simulation Redefined

Avbirth is a wearable simulator packed with all of the technology needed to transform childbirth education from an observation and shadowing experience to a fully immersed, patient care experience. You can now include objectives such as closed-looped communication with an interprofessional team and therapeutic communication with the patient and their significant other through all phases of labor and delivery. Avbirth pairs with the Avkin App to control the release of a variety of natal fluids, haptically cue the wearer during a contraction, progress the labor at the desired rate, and include additional challenges for the development of critical thinking such as shoulder dystocia or postpartum hemorrhage.

Tracheostomy Simulation Redefined

Avtrach, a high-fidelity, wearable tracheostomy simulator, is designed to replicate an anterior thorax so tracheostomy care and suctioning can be authentically replicated in simulation. Through a Bluetooth connection between Avtrach and the Avkin app, an assortment of lung sounds can be changed at any time by the educator from the control room. Optional lungs allow Avtrach to be connected to a ventilator.

Intravenous Simulation Redefined

A wearable simulator worn as a left-arm sleeve allows learners to practice high-fidelity IV insertion during simulation. Our smart skin technology allows learners to visualize and palpate unblemished skin even after 10,000 needle insertions. A pressure-based circulatory system mimics the human body allowing for a realistic flash after the learner has correctly cannulated the vein. The wearable simulator cues the live patient wearing the sleeve through haptic vibration when the needle first pierces the smart skin. Multiple layers of woven plastic have been integrated into premium silicone to protect the wearer from any harm during the simulation.

The Avstick includes Avkin’s anti-microbial blood and two vein sizes (normal or large). Quickly and easily replace the veins using the zippers on the sleeve, allowing the educator to spend minimal time setting up. This simulator can be used in different simulation settings such as an ambulance, classroom, outdoors, or a traditional hospital room. 

Port Infusion Simulation Redefined

The Avline is a wearable simulator that delivers a high-fidelity patient experience for a multitude of central venous care (CVC) simulations. This innovative simulator has two options for central venous treatment and care, a right subclavian triple lumen or a left subclavian implanted port; each option is removable, allowing the educator flexibility with learning outcomes. Learners can practice a range of procedures. Options for the triple lumen include flushing, infusion, blood draws, cap changes, and dressing change. For the implanted port learners can practice access, and de-access, infusion, flushing, and blood draws. Haptic feedback cues the live patients to respond when a needle is inserted into the simulated implanted port or excessive pressure is applied to the surgical site of the triple lumen. The technology is also equipped with an assortment of real patient heart sounds controlled via Bluetooth on the Avkin app, The learner can do a full cardiac assessment before providing care. Avline provides the latest technology to deliver a vast array of realistic patient presentations while also allowing learners to hone their communication skills while caring for their patients.

Heart & Lung Sound Simulation Redefined

The only wearable high-fidelity heart and lung simulator on the market. Its compact and lightweight design is comfortable for the live patient to wear, and the anatomically correct chest piece allows students to identify proper landmarks just like they would in the clinical setting. Learners can use their personal stethoscope with no additional attachments to listen and identify an array of realistic heart and lung sounds both anteriorly and posteriorly. The technology in the product allows the educator to control the heart and lung sounds independently for novices or simultaneously for advanced learners. The ability for different volume controls also gives learners and educators the ability to pinpoint the finer details of the actual patient recorded sounds contained within the Avtone. 

Catheterization Simulation Redefined

A wearable simulator that seamlessly replicates the human urinary system that is worn by a live person. The interchangeable male (circumcised or uncircumcised) and female genitalia provides learners with the ability to practice various types of urinary catheterization while also practicing all of the essential communication skills. The female genitalia was designed to include an anatomically correct external labia, clitoral hood, and non-obvious urethral meatus to provide a learning experience that will replicate actual clinical practice. Additionally, our genitalia is made with high-quality silicone so learners can use the betadine and lubrication right out of their kits. Educators can teach proper hand placement during both female and male catheterization because the physical anatomy feels and responds just like authentic anatomy. The live patient is cued when the catheter enters the urinary meatus. Additionally, if running a urinary retention simulation, the patented sensor technology will cue the patient to “feel relieved” backstrap when the learner participant successfully inserts the catheter foley into the urethra and when it hits the bladder. Students will see a steady stream of urine to reinforce realistic bedside practice. For additional realism, the bladder can be scanned and palpated. To ensure a safe learning environment for both learner and patient, space is left between the live patient and the product.

Wearable Communication Redefined

Created by Simulationists for Simulationists, Avband is a smartwatch look-a-like for inconspicuous 3-way communication between the control room, patient, and Avkin simulators. Pair Avkin products with the Avband to change the vibration feedback from the product strap to the patient’s watch on their wrist. Utilizing the Avkin app educators can customize the assortment of colored lights in the Avband to progress the simulation forward and quietly notify the patient that there should be a change in condition. Avband is meant to replace the need for including bulky ineffective earpieces in simulation. An additional feature of the Avband includes an alert button on the side of the product that allows the live patient to send a panic notification to the control room if they feel psychological and/or physically unsafe at any time during the simulation. Experts recommend Avband as the only solution for inconspicuous closed-loop communication between the control room and the live patient during the simulation.le technology to create products that are more realistic, cost effective and simpler to use than traditional solutions.
