The VH3000 3-Vessel model is a groundbreaking ultrasound training solution. Featuring complex, curved blood vessel structures that include a bifurcating branch, this 3-vessel phantom offers medical professionals an economic opportunity for hands-on training.
The gel comprising this latex-free phantom resembles human soft tissue and can be ordered in various skin tones. This allows clinicians to develop psychomotor skills through repetitive training. The cost-effective, self-healing gelatin is perfect for guiding needles to vessels using ultrasound. Lightweight and portable, it includes an airtight storage container.
We recommend this ultrasound phantom for the following specialties:
Anesthesiology
Emergency medicine
Nursing
Surgery
Ultrasound training programs
Simulation centers
Surgical skills centers
Medical education facilities
Use this phantom to build skills in using ultrasound system controls, mastering image flow velocity with Doppler, visualizing with Color Doppler, and targeting vessels for ultrasound-guided vascular access procedures. We recommend using a high-frequency linear array ultrasound probe from 5.0 to 12 MHz.
While clear phantoms offer a superior visual appearance to teach important anatomical concepts they do have a darker appearance due to lack of additive simulating human tissue on ultrasound. To use them with ultrasound imaging devices the gain function will need to be increased to 80-90%. Colorized phantoms offer superior ultrasound appearance and are closer matched to human tissue density and may only require a 60-70% adjustment on the gain function.
