Vata Chester Chest With Standard Arm Features

• 2400/2402 Chester Chest has been an industry standard since it was developed by VATA in 1986 for the teaching of central line care. The right chest area of the Chester Chest model has a 9.6Fr tunneled central catheter that is visible up to the clavicle. The Dacron cuff on this catheter is also discernable. The external jugular vein is slightly raised with an opening to attach your own triple lumen catheter. There is also an opening in the upper chest area of this patient simulation model for placement of a subclavian catheter. These optional catheters are available, or if you prefer, you can send us the catheters your institution uses, and we will install them into your Chester Chest at no charge.
• Simulate accessing the following IVAD placements in this medical simulation model: “normal”, “tipping”, “wandering” or deeply placed in the left chest area. Successful access is confirmed by a “blood” return. Fluid can be infused and “blood” withdrawn from all the lines.
• Chester's arm features a dual 5Fr PICC exiting the basilic vein from the inner bicep area, which is currently the preferred site for placement. The basilic vein is slightly raised for easy identification. Also featured is a pre-positioned 20g IV catheter in the forearm.
• The Chester Chest healthcare simulation model is a great tool for teaching, competency testing, skills assessment, fluid infusion, “blood” withdrawal, and dressing securement techniques associated with central access devices!
• Optional carry case available 0401.
