Why Should I Buy the Simulaids Breast Exam Simulator?
This Breast Examination kit from Simulaids contains tumours of varying sizes (1-4cm diameter), shapes (round, oval, irregular/stellate), and densities that can be inserted by the trainer for a wide combination of training scenarios. Unlike many other simulators, the tissue density in this model actually varies within the simulated breast, just as it does in a real person, allowing for more accurate and realistic training with each use.
How Do I Use the Training Model?
This breast exam simulator has been designed for supine examination, but you can also use it standing upright. The protective film wrapped around the breast inserts will need to be removed prior to use but training may also be done without the overlay skin.
For more information on how to use the Simulaids Breast Exam Simulator, please refer to the manual below:
How Do I Clean the Breast Exam Simulator?
For clean training and demonstration with every use, you can wash the breast examination kit in warm soapy water or with a mild detergent. Avoid hard scrubbing on areas that are painted. Allow all components to air dry and replace plastic film to clean and dry breast inserts before storing.
Maintenance of the Breast Exam Simulator
- Store clean and dry components of the kit in the hard carry case
- Caution: Never use solvents, abrasives or harsh cleaners
