RediStik ECMO Cannulation Trainer

Palpate neck landmarks. Cut, spread, encircle or laterally retract tissue layers to expose vessels. Neurovascular positioning, color and feel allows for accurate exposure, cutting, applying traction sutures/tourniquet to control the vessels, and cannula insertion. Transparent heart provides visualization during insertion of the cannula and provides closed loop system to connect to the ECMO circuit. An elevated liter bag of saline creates pressure in the system to allow for realistic “bleed back”, so a pulsating pump is not necessary.

Model accommodates 15fr arterial, 17Fr venous and 20 Fr VV cannulas.
