The Nursing Kelly VitalSim is a full-body, lifelike manikin designed to teach all skills from basic patient handling to advanced nursing, including the measurement of noninvasive blood pressure and the auscultation and recognition of normal and abnormal heart, lung and bowel sounds.
Features:
Patient Care
- Head with anatomical landmarks, trachea, and esophagus, along with simulated lungs and stomach, allow the practice of many procedures:
- Irrigation of the eye and ear (simulated)
- Application/instillation of medications in the eye, ear and nose including nasal packing
- Mouth and denture care procedures
- Insertion and suctioning of oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal airways
- Insertion, securing, and care of endotracheal tubes
- Tracheostomy care and tracheal suctioning
- Various oxygen delivery procedures
- NG tube insertion, care, medication administration, and removal
- Gastric lavage and gavage
- Nasoenteric and esophageal tube insertion, care, and removal
- Subclavian, jejunostomy and Hickman catheter openings (placement only)
- Manually generated carotid pulse
- Injection sites include deltoid, bilateral thigh, gluteal and ventrogluteal
- Full range of motion for realistic patient handling
- Interchangeable stomas depict colostomy, ileostomy and suprapubic cystotomy
- Colostomy may be irrigated and will retain an indwelling catheter
- Rectum with reservoir for enema procedures
- Fingers and toes are spread to allow bandaging
Interchangeable Male and Female Genitalia
- Can be attached to urinary and colon reservoirs via connector valves
- Complete urinary catheterization
- Female genitalia capable of vaginal douching
- Will retain indwelling or straight catheter
- Enema procedures may be performed using fluid for realistic return
- When used with manikin, fluid may be used for realistic return
- Urinary valves give the natural resistance felt when catheterizing
- Anal valves simulate the internal anal sphincter
Articulating IV Training Arm
- Allows peripheral intravenous therapy and site care
- Rotates at deltoid
- Venipuncture is possible in the antecubical fossa and dorsum of the hand
- Accessible veins include median, basilic and cephalic
- Replaceable skin and infusible vein system
Wound Assessment and Care (OPTIONAL)
- Abdominal incision module with painted sutures may be interchanged with blank module in the manikin’s abdomen
- Surgical closure simulated
- Suitable for teaching suture care and dressing
- Abdominal incision modules with Penrose drain – staples and nylon sutures (one each)
- Abdominal packing and irrigation module may be interchanged with blank module in the manikin’s abdomen
- Wound separation exposing a layer of subcutaneous fat
- Suitable for wet or dry packing and wound irrigation
- Abdominal subcutaneous heparin and insulin injection module
- Surgical belly plate with interchangeable stoma sites
- Infected colostomy stoma may be interchanged with normal stoma in surgical belly plate, irrigation possible
- Ventrogluteal and gluteal decubitus ulcer may be interchanged with ventrogluteal injection pad
- Reddish and cyanotic blue-gray appearance
- Break in the skin exposing soft tissue
- Suitable for pressure ulcer staging, cleaning and dressing
- Below knee and below elbow amputation stumps for stump care including wrapping and conditioning
- Thigh packing and irrigation module may be interchanged with injection pads in manikin’s thigh
- Wound separation exposing a layer of subcutaneous fat
- Suitable for wet or dry packing and wound irrigation
- Thigh suture and debridement modules with may be interchanged with injection pads in manikin’s thigh
- Surgical closure made with nylon sutures
- Suitable for teaching suture care and dressing
- Thigh suture module with nylon sutures
- Varicose vein leg with stasis ulcer
- Diabetic foot module may be articulated to manikin at the ankle
- Gangrenous toes
- Heel Decubitus ulcer
- Lacerated hand with forearm may be articulated to manikin at the elbow
- Laceration of the hand, index finger and middle finger with abrasions
- Forearm has surgical incision with painted sutures
