VH1000 Vessel Ultrasound Training Model is a full ultrasound training system that provides blood flow simulation in a phantom that hosts complex blood vessel structures with a bifurcating branch and curvature. This allows the trainees to recognize a bifurcation and to locate the correct position of needle insertion even in a real human body. Human tissue with vessels that carry blood mimicking fluid is simulated for 2D B-mode and/or Doppler ultrasound training. The fluid has the same consistency and color as blood, making it very realistic for clinical training of guiding a syringe needle with ultrasound followed by pulling back the plunger to visualize blood in the syringe to confirm correct needle placement. This cost-effective flow phantom is the first of its kind on the market, and comes with two pumps, blood reservoir, phantom, tubes, and is packed in a rugged, sealed transport case for setting up the system at different sites. The gel is skin colored (Caucasian and others can be ordered). It is a lightweight and economical training aid that will allow clinicians to perform sonographic procedures and to acquire images of blood vessels, providing hands-on training at a reasonable cost. By repetitively training on these phantoms, the clinicians are able to develop psychomotor skills of guiding the needles to the simulated vessels with ultrasound. With the consistency that resembles human soft tissues and fluid flow mimicking flow of blood, this phantom will be one of the most advanced and human-like simulators you can have at your establishment. Working with any conventional ultrasound system, the skills that can be acquired using our VH1000 Phantom are;
