Description:
The Life/form®
Female Catheterization Simulator is constructed with a bladder
reservoir, patient urethra, and a valve simulating the internal
urethral sphincter. The normal feeling of resistance and
pressure will be experienced as a catheter is passed through the
urethra, past the sphincter, and into the bladder. When the
catheter enters the bladder, artificial urine (water) will flow
from the catheter just as in a real patient.
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. |
