Description:
With the Life/form®
Male Catheterization Simulator, catheterization can be practiced
just as on a real patient. A lubricated catheter can be inserted
in the urethral orifice, passed through the urethra, and into
the bladder. When the bladder is successfully entered,
artificial urine (water) will flow from the catheter. The student will feel the normal
restrictions caused by the mucosal folds, bulbous urethra, and
the internal urethral sphincter, just prior to entrance into the
bladder.
A Foley catheter can be used if
extreme care is taken to inflate the cuff only when it is in the
proper position.
Just as in a real patient, the cuff
must be completely deflated before the catheter is removed.
Improper use of a Foley can result in damage to the simulator,
just as when using a Foley catheter with a real patient. |
