This skills trainer utilises the same patented mechanism created for the TOM team training mannequin to provide a realistic sensation of sternal opening. The skills trainer includes a synthetic heart model which may be interchanged with alternative models according to training needs.


The skills trainer also includes the facility to simulate ventilating the patient, and to inject simulated medication and/or fluids for training environments where a full team is involved (i.e. Cardiac surgery, advanced life support etc.).


This skills trainer is designed to withstand repeated use. It is made of durable material which is easy to clean and set-up for the next training session. Consumable components (such as skin) which will require periodic replacement are available.
