Simulation labs allow students to master essential clinical skills in a risk-free environment, effectively bridging the gap between skills training, theoretical coursework and clinical rotations. However, starting a simulation lab from scratch can be overwhelming due to the vast array of available supplies and equipment. Continuing reading to learn more about our top recommendations to help educators enhance the quality of healthcare and education!
Discover Headwalls
Comparable to the customer favorite Amico Sapphire, our Discover Training Headwalls help turn any space into a realistic simulated patient care area. Students are able to gain life-like experience, helping them prepare for real clinical practice. Simulate oxygen, air and suction from a single source with our silent air compressor that’s included in our headwall packages.
Vantage Med-Surg Tutor Bed
The #1 bed for healthcare education and simulation training, the Vantage Med Surg Tutor Bed replicates all the features and functionality of a patient-ready hospital bed. Its modern design enables instructors to safely and effectively train students in both basic and advanced bedside care. Explore features like the five (5) functional positions, a CPR release lever that rapidly lowers head of bed for compressions, integrated foley bags and IV pole holders, central brake and more. The Vantage is also available as a suite package and with an integrated headwall.
Lynacare® HC107 Hi-Low Bed
The Lynacare® HC107 Hi-Low Hospital Bed was designed for all types of home and long-term care settings. The HC107 helps prepare students with practice outside of acute care facilities, making it an ideal option for CNA, LPN and RN programs. This modern bed provides comfort and safety for both patients and caregivers with hi-low bed frame height, auto contour, dual controls and a central locking mechanism. The HC107 has an assortment of comfortable position configurations including a dining chair position that is easily adjustable with just the touch of a button on the footboard-mounted control pendant or hand pendant.
SimScreen®
The SimScreen® is an innovative solution for nursing and health professions simulation lab instruction. The SimScreen® SS1 Standard Simulation Panel is a cost effective and portable two-way mirror panel which separates the nursing instructor from the student during simulation and can also be used for In Situ simulation. It facilitates effective observation, patient communication and teaching during simulation while decreasing distractions for the student nurse. The SimScreen® also offers space saving advantages to colleges or hospitals with limited space for their teaching environment.
Loaded Crash Carts™
A stocked crash cart is an essential component of any mock code scenario. However, it can be hard to find and purchase all the needed airway and vascular supplies. The SimLabSolutions Loaded 5 Drawer Emergency Cart™ is the ideal solution for instructors who will be introducing mock code training into their curricula for beginning students. This cart contains all supplies and simulated medications for adult resuscitation, including management of respiratory and cardiac arrest. The SimLabSolutions Loaded 6 Drawer Emergency Crash Cart™ is more suitable for advanced learners as it contains pediatric supplies and a tablet-based defibrillator system that turns any manikin into a high-fidelity simulator. DiaMedical also takes the hassle out of reordering supplies, as refill kits are available for all SimLabSolutions Loaded Crash Carts.
SimServeRx™
SimServeRx ™ Medication Dispensing Systems are designed specifically for healthcare education and allow instructors to simulate the medication administration process from start to finish! Featuring a comprehensive software package with simulated eMAR, med orders, drug library and inventory management, SimServeRx™ is widely recommended for educators looking to add medication management simulations into their curricula or enhance their current scenarios.
Patient Care Manikins
Our Patient Care Manikins provide a safe, controlled environment for students to practice and refine their clinical skills. These manikins allow students to gain hands-on experience in patient assessment, treatment and emergency response without any risk to actual patients.
