Chester Chest with extended arm
Chester Chest is a lifelike model that allows practice in handling the most common types of long-term vascular access systems, such as implanted ports, central venous catheters (CVC) and peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC), on a single simple, compact, portable model. All access systems used here are clinically relevant models, not unrealistic imitations. This model offers an impressively realistic tactile feel when palpating a port. This is achieved through a unique material that mimics the feel of human tissue. In addition, the supplied implants offer the following challenging access scenarios: deeply placed port, angled or tilted port, migrating or displaced port. External jugular and subclavian catheters can be passed through openings provided on the model. Chester Chest can be used both upright and lying down. Chester Chest is a complete unit and is supplied with a full-size torso with neck and chin, removable right arm, outer tissue flap, three inserts that make access more difficult, implanted port, CVC, PICC, openings for placement of a subclavian catheter or external jugular catheter, “blood” reservoir bag, tubing, talcum powder and instructions for use.
