With the P93 PRO male catheterisation trainer, male bladder catheterisation can be realistically demonstrated, practised and evaluated either via the urethra (transurethral) or through the abdominal wall (suprapubic). The genital insert is fitted into an anatomically correct lower-torso model using magnetic connections. The material is soft and flexible: the foreskin is movable and the penis can be stretched. This allows the learner to practise all necessary steps (e.g. disinfection) for catheterisation. The material provides a lifelike feel when inserting and removing the catheter into/from the bladder, with realistic resistance and insertion depths.
Different levels of difficulty:
With the male insert, three different levels of urethral narrowing can be practised. At the tightest setting, the learner will find that urethral catheterisation is no longer possible and that a suprapubic catheter must be placed.
Immediate learning effect:
When the catheter is correctly positioned, liquid flows out, just as with a real patient. In addition, the position of the catheter can be checked via the transparent bladder. The abdominal wall on the PRO version can be removed so that the process during urethral catheterisation can be better visualised.
Changing and care of a suprapubic bladder catheter:
If catheterisation via the urethra is no longer possible, a suprapubic catheter must be placed. The suprapubic catheter is usually inserted by a physician through the abdominal wall into the filled urinary bladder and fixed to the abdominal wall. With the PRO version, suprapubic catheter changes as well as care can be practised. Care includes dressing changes, cleaning the catheter and disinfecting the wound.
All advantages of the P93 PRO male catheterisation simulator at a glance:
Male catheterisation with realistic resistance
Adjustable urethral narrowing in 3 levels
Soft, movable foreskin (for practising e.g. disinfection)
- Anatomically realistic pelvic structure
- Liquid outflow upon successful catheterisation
- Ability to check via transparent bladder and removable abdominal wall
- Training of suprapubic catheter change as well as cleaning and care
- Stable on the table thanks to anti-slip feet
- Magnetic connections for quick assembly and conversion
- Easy to clean and maintain, can be completely dismantled
- Sponge inside prevents accumulation of moisture
Scope of delivery:
- Realistic lower-torso model
- Male catheterisation insert with transparent bladder
- Bottle and hose connections
- Carry bag
Note:
For catheterisation, we recommend using catheters with only one or two opposing drainage eyes. Both silicone and PVC catheters can be used.
We recommend the following catheters:
Urethral narrowing “Open” = 16 CH catheter or 14 CH balloon catheter
Urethral narrowing “Partial narrowing” = 14 CH catheter or 12 CH balloon catheter
Catheters with a curved tip must not be used!
Tip:
In accordance with the guidelines for correct catheterisation, even in the simulation a small amount of lubricating gel (not included in the scope of delivery) should be introduced into the urethra or into the puncture site on the abdominal wall to ensure smooth insertion of the catheter. Alternatively, the lubricating gel can also be applied to the tip of the catheter.
