CAE Blue Phantom Renal Biopsy Ultrasound Training Model

The CAE Blue Phantom Renal Biopsy Ultrasound Training Model is excellent for assisting clinicians in gaining proficiency in the use of ultrasound to guide percutaneous kidney biopsy procedures.

• Allows repeated needle biopsy using core needle biopsy or needle aspiration techniques
• Anatomically correct adult male torso with an ultrasound tissue module containing skin, ribs, and right kidney with surrounding tissue
• Kidney internal and external architecture contains the renal cortex, renal medulla and major and minor calyx
• Blue Phantom simulated tissues match the acoustic characteristics of real human tissue to experience the same quality you expect from imaging patients in a clinical environment

Excellent for gaining proficiency in ultrasound guided renal core biopsy or needle aspiration procedures 
 

Blue Phantom renal biopsy ultrasound training model offers users extremely realistic sonographic imaging characteristics and feels like real human tissue.
 

Blue Phantom’s patented ultra-durable self-healing tissue provides users with a low cost of ownership.
 

In addition to training users how to utilize ultrasound to image the kidney, users are able to perform two types of procedures on the model:
 

Core needle biopsy procedures

• Clinicians using the ultrasound guided renal biopsy model for core needle biopsy are expecting to remove tissue samples from the model
• Removing a core tissue sample leaves an air filled void in the kidney the size of the core sample
• Users can expect to remove 30 core biopsy samples before the kidney requires replacement
• The kidney is easily removed so that the unused upper kidney can be rotated to assume the lower pole position

Needle aspiration procedures

• Clinicians using the ultrasound guided renal biopsy model for needle aspiration procedures can utilize 18 – 21 gauge needles
• Blue Phantom’s patented self-healing ultra-durable tissue allows repeated use
• Users will experience the best healing performance when they utilize sharp, unbent needles

Ultrasound imaging and procedural skills include:

• Using ultrasound system controls
• Transducer positioning and movement
• Recognition of kidney anatomy
• Appearance of ribs and avoiding them during renal biopsy
• Use of utrasound to target the appropriate location for renal biopsy
• Performing an ultrasound guided renal biopsy procedure.

This hands-on training model will perform well using any ultrasound imaging system configured with the appropriate renal biopsy transducer.
 

This ultrasound phantom model is excellent for specialties including nephrology, interventional radiology, surgery, surgical training programs, ultrasound training programs, simulation centers, surgical skills centers, medical education facilities, renal biopsy device manufacturers and ultrasound manufacturers for ultrasound education and demonstrations.
 

All CAE Blue Phantom Models:
